DFactual statements about the disadvantages of unions in the labor/management relationship

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Answer option B is correct.

A company cannot threaten employees or make promises to them contingent on the workforce remaining union free. A philosophy statement should be geared toward communicating the company's desire to work directly with the employees in discussions about working conditions or benefits. If a union does attempt to organize, it is important for the employer to work directly with outside council to determine the strategic benefits of discussing the desire to remain union free and the disadvantages/limitations of unions as employee representatives.

I'm going with C. A description of what a union cannot do for the employees is just propaganda, not what a union philosophy statement should be about.

Ha! 'A promise of extended benefits if the company remains union-free' - that's like bribery in a fancy suit! Definitely not something a union philosophy statement should have.

D definitely seems like the correct answer. Factual statements about the disadvantages of unions are not what a union philosophy statement should include.

I think the correct answer is A. A union philosophy statement should not include a statement of the company's desire to remain union-free, as that would be a biased and one-sided approach.
