Question

Alonzo’s Crooked Cake Shop has had workers attempting to unionize in order to be able to work fewer hours per week. Alonzo’s argues in court that because there is only one other cake shop in the region, a strike and other union activities would disrupt competition in the cake business. Alonzo’s is using __________ to prevent union activities.

Answer 1

Answer:

Antitrust law

Explanation:

Alonzo is using antitrust law to prevent the union strike.

Antitrust law regulates competition among firms, and its main goal is to prevent the formation of monopolies. A monopoly is a firm that is the sole seller of a product in a determined market.

Alonzo is saying that if his Cake Shop entered a strike, the only other Cake Shop in the region would become a monopoly, effectively violating antitrust law.
