Collusion, also known as company unionism, is relatively rare in U.S. labor history and is illegal. This refers to a situation where the employer dominates or controls the union, and the union does not truly represent the workers' interests. This goes against the principles of free and democratic unionism. The other options are not illegal and have been commonly used in U.S. labor history. Conflict refers to a situation where both parties have opposing interests and engage in aggressive tactics to try to achieve their goals. Armed truce refers to a temporary agreement to stop fighting and work together, usually reached after a period of conflict. Power bargaining refers to a situation where one side has a significant advantage and uses that advantage to negotiate more favorable terms.
