Practice question
A laboratory employee handles secret product formulas but neither assists labor-relations policymakers in a confidential capacity nor needs access to labor-relations policy information. Is the business secrecy alone sufficient to exclude her as a confidential employee for union purposes?
- Yes, every trade secret bars membership
- Yes, any confidentiality clause is conclusive
- Yes, every laboratory position is managerial
- No; the confidential-employee exclusion requires the relevant labor-relations connection, not merely business secrecy
- No employee may ever be confidential for union purposes
