Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The inflexible nature of a price list provision means that it may be challenging to consider the specific details of each disciplinary case. The standardized penalties do allow consistency in disciplinary action, but potential mitigating circumstances are not easily taken into account. The uncertainty over consequences mentioned in option C may be a disadvantage, but this is not as significant as the inflexibility of the provision. Option A is incorrect as the opinions of union officials are not the main concern when discussing disadvantages of a contractual provision. Option D is also incorrect, as the inflexibility of the provision means that it is hard to account for mitigating circumstances.
