Practice question
An independent union is formed and funded entirely by employees. Two years later, management begins choosing its officers and makes company financing conditional on submitting all union decisions for HR approval. Management argues that the union's independent origin permanently prevents it from being a company union. Which answer is correct?
- Independent origin does not protect later employer domination of the union's function or administration.
- The union can never become a company union because its initial formation was independent.
- Only the organization's name determines its status.
- Employer financing is always lawful once two years have passed.
- The prohibition ends when the first officers' terms expire.
