Practice question: Major Policy Matters

Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

A nationwide union faces a major policy decision. Its board asserts that geographical spread automatically permits it to decide every major matter forever, even though reliable secret-ballot arrangements are practicable for this particular question. Which is best?
  1. Nationwide status automatically eliminates member decision rights
  2. Every board decision is immune from inquiry
  3. The exception requires actual impracticality due to the organization’s nature or force majeure; the stipulated practicability defeats the asserted automatic exemption
  4. Any public poll necessarily satisfies a secret ballot
  5. A majority of employers may replace the union vote
