Answer to Question 1

A, D, E
Some of the cons that might be on you list include other union members may outvote your decisions,
union dues must be paid even if individuals do not support unionization, and unions may be perceived
by some as not being professional. In addition, the list could include the facts that there is reduced
allowance for individuality, disputes are not handled with an individual and management only (there is
less room for personal judgment), and some employees may not agree with the collective voice..

Answer to Question 2

D
The supervisor has blocked communication by giving the LPN the advice to get a loan. Giving advice
assumes the other person is unable to solve her own problems.
