Answer to Question 1

Explanation: 1. The union that wins the election then has the right to enter into contract negotiations with the
organization on behalf of the employees. The union cannot effect change for employees outside
of the bargaining unit, nor can the union expand to another unit without an election.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3
Explanation: 1. The nurse manager is not responsible for presenting proposals from the staff to the
administration. This is the role of the union representative. Participating in the grievance and
discipline process and negotiating working hours are all roles of the nurse manager.
