Answer to Question 1

3
Explanation: 1. Retirement policies are typical subjects both parties should discuss. Mandatory overtime and
nurse client ratios are mandatory subjects. Retirement policies are other issues to consider in
the bargaining process. Contract ratification is the passage of the contract by the majority of the
members who vote.

Answer to Question 2

Explanation: 1. The manager may leave the break room but should address the issue of employees not
discussing collective bargaining while at work or on the work site. It is inappropriate to issue a
warning or inform nursing administration of the discussions.
