Practice question
Supervisors excluded from a rank-and-file unit establish their own legitimate supervisory union. Both unions want to join the same federation. Is that affiliation alone prohibited?
- Yes, because every federation may have only one occupational category
- No; separate rank-and-file and supervisory unions in the same establishment may join the same federation or national union
- Yes, because supervisors cannot organize
- No, and affiliation automatically merges their bargaining units
- Only if management chooses their federation
