Practice question
A company extends the factory closing time to accommodate an undisturbed meal period and applies the lawful schedule equally to comparable union and nonunion workers. The total actual work remains within the legal daily limit and no protected agreement is impaired. Does later departure alone prove that the change unlawfully interferes with organization?
- No; actual hours, uniform application and lawful purpose must be examined
- Yes; every later departure is anti-union
- Yes; elapsed presence always equals work
- Yes; the existence of a union bars operational changes
- Yes; unchanged lawful actual work is immaterial
