The explosive confrontations between management and workers attempting to organize themselves to offset the power of the employer led most governments to pass laws that would create and maintain labour peace. Which of the following is false with regard to collective bargaining legislation?
◦ Employers can block their workers from organizing themselves as a union as long as they do not use violence or the threat of violence.
◦ A lockout is an action taken by the employer to prevent workers from working and earning a wage.
◦ It is an unfair labour practice for an employer to threaten to fire a worker for joining the union.
◦ A contract approved by both the employer and the union is called a collective agreement, and it must set out the method for the settlement of disputes that could arise under the agreement.
◦ Once a union is certified, the union worker will not bargain for his or her contract; the union will have a bargaining agent who has the authority to negotiate for a contract that will bind all union workers in that bargaining unit.
