The major harm from management's perspective would be if the union goes on strike, as this would result in a decrease in the number of workers available to produce goods or services. This would lead to a drop in production output, which could potentially result in financial losses for the company. While hiring replacement workers might be a solution, there is no guarantee that they would be more productive than the original workers. Option C and D are not valid as strike pay is usually provided by the union and employees are often serious when they threaten to go on strike. Option E is not relevant to the question as it assumes that the employees will choose to leave the union, rather than striking.
