Question#5

The HR Director appears unfazed at a union's threat of a strike.
Which of the following is the best reason why?

A. The employer has a strong product demand and the economy is experiencing high unemployment rates
B. The employer has a strong supplier network and the economy is experiencing fluctuating unemployment rates
C. The employer's supply chain is automated and the economy is experiencing low unemployment rates
D. The union plans to engage in an economic strike and the economy is experiencing high unemployment rates

Explanation:
Option D is most favorable to the employer as an employer can permanently replace strikers in an economic strike; and has a large pool of labor to fill the positions because of a high unemployment rate. Also, at the conclusion of an economic strike, the striking worker is not entitled to unconditionally receive his/her old job back. Instead, s/he is placed on a preferential hiring list. The employer's business is most likely to be affected when there is a high demand for its products, when it has a low degree of automation in its production process, and when there is a low unemployment rate.
