Question

Connor, an HR manager, heard from other managers that there was talk of a union organizing effort at his company. Connor saw no signs of a union at work, so he downplayed the rumors. Therefore, he was caught by surprise when the union presented authorization cards and a request for a representation election. Which statement best explains the flaw in Connor's reasoning about the organizing effort?

a) In an election, workers may have a choice from among more than one union.

b)Unions usually launch an organizing campaign by discussing issues with employees at home.

c)For the organizing process to continue, at least 30% of the employees must sign an authorization card.

d)In most organizing efforts, there is a hotly contested election campaign.

e)Regulations forbid unions from using online databases to identify issues of interest to particular workers.

Explanation / Answer

b)Unions usually launch an organizing campaign by discussing issues with employees at home

Such issues are not discussed much in the workplace and Connor should have considered this aspect because being and HR he should have been aware of such situations. He should have understood the issue and should have focused more on the issue rather he focused to find out the issue only in the workplace and hence he got nothing.
