Question 13
13. On May 31, 2024, the collective bargaining agreement between Gretel
Corporation, Inc. (GCI) and Gretel Labor Union (GLU) expired. After
several negotiations, GCI and GLU signed a new collective bargaining
agreement on August 31, 2024, which obliged the company to pay a wage
increase in favor of the employees. GLU then demanded salary
differentials starting June 1, 2024. However, GCI argued that the
provisions of the new collective bargaining agreement as to the wage
increase shall be prospective in application beginning August 31,
2024. When shall the salary increase be reckoned? Explain.
