Mother MCQs on Self-Organization

7. Labor organizations may be created thru independent registration (IR) or chartering (C). These 2 modes of organization differ as
follows:

LLO Status 20% Requirement CE Petition Certification & Attestation

IR Issuance of CR Required After CR is issued Required

C Submission Not required After CC is issued Not required

In other words, IR differs from C as follows:

(1) In IR, an LO becomes an LLO upon issuance of its CR; in C, an LO becomes an LLO upon
submission of registration requirements;
(2) In IR, a list of members comprising at least 20% of the workers of the CBU to which the LO belongs is a
registration requirement; in C, it is not a registration requirement;
(3) In IR, an LO can petition for CE only if it is issued its CR; in C, it is enough that it has been issued its Charter
Certificate (CC);
(4) In IR, all registration requirements must be certified and attested to; in C, only the CC must be certified and
attested to.
