Question XI
XI. The members of the administrative staff of Zeta, a construction company, enjoy ten (10) days of vacation leave with pay and ten (10) days of sick leave with pay, annually. The workers' union, Bukluran, demands that Zeta grant its workers service incentive leave of five (5) days in compliance with the Labor Code.
Is the union demand meritorious? (1%)

(d)(D) No, because service incentive leave is a Labor Code benefit that does not apply in the construction industry.
(e)(E) Yes, because Labor Code benefits are separate from those voluntarily granted by the company.
