Answer to Question 1

4
Explanation: 1. The second step in the grievance process is to arrange a meeting with nursing administration,
the employee, agent, and grievance chairperson. The CNO may notify the CEO but this is not
necessary. Legal counsel does not need to be involved at this time. It is inappropriate and
violates the employees right to elicit information regarding the appeal without union
representation.

Answer to Question 2

2
Explanation: 1. The managers role is not to interfere with the employees right to organize, dominate,
encourage or discourage union membership, terminate an employee for filing a charge with
the NLRB, or refuse to bargain collectively.
