Accepted Answer

The National Labor Relations Board requires a union to demonstrate that they represent workers who have a mutuality of interest, meaning that they share common job duties or working conditions, in order for an election to be held. Representing all of Roasters's employees (choice A) might not be possible or necessary, and the union's focus should be on workers at Roasters, rather than their competitors (choice C). Representing Roasters's best interest (choice D) is not the goal of the union, as their role is to advocate for the interests of the workers they represent.

Accepted Answer

Hiring more workers than necessary to do a certain project is not a subject of collective bargaining as it is a management decision and not a condition of employment for the workers.

The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) requires employers to negotiate in good faith with a union chosen by their employees for collective bargaining over wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment.

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) establishes minimum wage and overtime provisions for employees, but does not address collective bargaining. The Social Security Act establishes a system of social insurance, but does not directly address collective bargaining.
