Question 6
When does double breasting occur?
Answer : D
Answer option D is correct.
Double breasting occurs when an employer has two companies that are separate and distinct from each other but do the same type of work, and one company is union while the other is nonunion. This occurs most often in the construction industry when contractors have two different crews for bidding on union and nonunion jobs. An alter ego employer has two substantially identical businesses (B). The ally doctrine describes work that is done by a neutral employer while another business is shut down by a strike (A). A straight-line operation is one in which two businesses perform operations that complement each other's operations (C). If one business is struck, the other may be as well because they are engaged in a single economic enterprise.

Employee Weingarten rights established which of the following?
Answer : B
Answer option B is correct.
Weingarten rights were upheld by the NLRB, establishing that union workers have the right to representation in any meeting that may amount to an investigatory interview that could lead to disciplinary action. These rights do not currently apply to nonunion workers (A). Any employee has the right to consult with an attorney post-discipline, and employers do not have the right to deny representation to union workers (D, A) in a meeting that may result in discipline.
