Answer 1

1. Choice (a) is correct. In a real-life labor union strikes, it usually begins with a notice of strike to be sent to an employer within 60 days known as the cooling-off period. Then, labor unions' strikes begin. If they feel that they are ignored by the employer, then picketing happens. Labor unions carry signs and other rally paraphernalia in the premises of the employer informing the public about their sentiments towards the employer. In this case, the employer will ask the labor union to reach an agreement through collective bargaining agreement. 

2. Choice (a) is correct. The management has three tools to use in case of disagreement. These are an injunction, lockout, and hiring replacement workers. An injunction is a judicial order telling the person from doing so. A lockout is a temporary work stoppage or denial of employment. Hiring replacement workers simply mean looking for another competent worker that can do the job of the vacated position.
