Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Union leaders are likely to take a strike vote as a way to put pressure on management to negotiate a new contract. A strike vote would show management that the union is united and willing to take action if necessary. A majority vote or majority election may be used to elect union leaders or to make decisions within the union, but it would not directly put pressure on management to negotiate. A ratification vote would follow negotiations and would be used to approve or reject a new contract, but it would not be taken before negotiations had begun.
