Union leaders at the Baadfathe Corporation are furious. Although the union is certified by the NLRB, its negotiating team has had little success in getting management to meet with them to work on a new labor contract. In fact, during the last three months, the management team has agreed to meet only twice, once on a weekend, and the other time after 8:00 p.m. Even during those two meetings, the management team was unwilling to offer serious proposals. Baadfathe's management team should review the legal rights of union members to participate in collective bargaining, as provided under the:
A) Taft-Harley Act.
B) Norris LaGuardia Act.
C) Wagner Act.
D) Landrum-Griffin Act.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Wagner Act, also known as the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), provides rights for employees to collectively bargain and organize, and requires employers to participate in good faith bargaining. It prohibits unfair labor practices by employers, including refusing to bargain in good faith. Therefore, in this scenario, the Baadfathe Corporation's management team may be violating the rights of union members as provided under the Wagner Act by refusing to meet with the union negotiating team and offer serious proposals.
