Practice question: Duty to Bargain

Multiple Choice Hard

A company attends a ceremonial meeting but announces that it will never discuss wages, working hours or any employment condition with the lawful representative. It calls this complete compliance because the law does not compel concessions. The union remains ready to negotiate. Which is best?
  1. No concession means no duty to discuss
  2. Attendance automatically proves good faith
  3. Every employer statement is conclusive
  4. The union must accept permanent silence
  5. The no-compelled-concession qualification does not excuse refusing the mutual good-faith negotiation required by the Code
