Which of the following statements are true?
I. Federal law does not provide any right of workers to bargain collectively.
II. It is not an unfair labor practice for an employer to refuse to bargain with a duly elected employee union.
a. I only
b. II only
c. Both I and II
d. Neither I nor II
To determine which statements are true, let's break down each statement and assess its validity.
Statement I: "Federal law does not provide any right of workers to bargain collectively."
To verify the accuracy of this statement, you can consult the relevant federal labor laws, such as the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). The NLRA explicitly grants workers the right to bargain collectively through their chosen representatives. Therefore, Statement I is not true.
Statement II: "It is not an unfair labor practice for an employer to refuse to bargain with a duly elected employee union."
To determine the accuracy of this statement, we need to refer to the NLRA as well. According to the NLRA, Section 8(a)(5), it is considered an unfair labor practice for an employer to refuse to bargain with a duly elected employee union. Consequently, Statement II is also false.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
d. Neither I nor II
