Practice question
To counter an independent organizing drive, a factory's HR director creates a rival labor organization, pays recruiters from company funds, and requires its officers to obtain management approval before submitting bargaining demands. Employees sign membership forms voluntarily. Management claims those signatures conclusively establish that the rival is independent. Which conclusion is best?
- The signatures erase all prior employer interference.
- Only recruitment payments matter; control of demands is irrelevant.
- The facts establish prohibited initiation, support, and administrative domination despite the signatures.
- The organization is protected from scrutiny because workers signed forms.
- No prohibited conduct exists until the employer signs a CBA.
