Option B is the best choice as it suggests that the management and the labor union leader want to work together to find a solution. Meeting, talking things through and planning to avoid future problems shows that both parties are willing to listen to each other and compromise to find a mutually beneficial solution. Option A only suggests that the union leader is pressuring the management, which may cause more tension. Option C is not a fair solution as it suggests a bribe to the union leader to discourage employee action. Option D only suggests a follow-up on the issue without indicating a willingness to negotiate a solution.
