Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The union cannot strike because there is a no-strike clause in the collective bargaining agreement that is still in force for another eight months. The argument that new union leadership is in place does not negate the existing agreement. The NLRA does allow for strikes for certain purposes, but in this case, the strike would be in violation of the agreement. Option A is incorrect because the new union leadership does not automatically invalidate the existing agreement. Option B is incorrect because no-strike provisions are generally enforceable if they are part of a collective bargaining agreement. Option C is incorrect because the NLRA does allow for strikes in certain situations, but in this case, the strike would be in violation of the agreement.
