Practice question
An employer receives notice in an organized workplace and invokes both facts as grounds to contest a union solely because the union’s platform is expensive. No statutory exception or independent proceeding is identified. Which analysis follows the bystander rule?
- Neither organization nor notice grants a right to oppose employee choice on that basis
- Organized status creates an employer veto
- Notice confers full adversarial participation
- Expensive proposals automatically invalidate registration
- The employer may replace the ballot with a cost ranking
