Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The no-strike clause in the collective bargaining agreement is still in force and therefore the union cannot go on strike. The fact that there is new union leadership does not invalidate the contract.

Option B is incorrect because no-strike provisions are generally enforceable if they're included in a collective bargaining agreement. Option C is incorrect because the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) does not prohibit strikes as a method of exerting economic pressure on management.
