Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

The Railway Labor Act was a critical win for the management, in that it helped keep trains, and later airlines, from striking - to disrupt travel of citizens. The act was created to keep the trains moving - with a few exceptions, such as safety.

Answer option A is incorrect. The Clayton Act clarified language in the Sherman Antitrust Act, and deemed labor unions and agricultural unions exempt from the Sherman Antitrust Act.

Answer option D is incorrect. The National Industrial Recovery Act guaranteed laborers the right to organize and bargain collectively.

Answer option B is incorrect. The National Labor Relations Act, also known as the Wagner Act, guaranteed the right to self-organization, to form, join, or assist labor organization, to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choice.

I thought sharing was more about resources, not partnerships.

Interesting approach, but can they really trust their competitor?

I’m a bit lost on this one. Could it be transference? I remember that term being used when risks are passed to another party, but I’m not confident.

This seems similar to a practice question I did where two companies teamed up. I think that was also about sharing risks, so I’m leaning towards option A.

I’m not entirely sure, but I remember something about mitigation being more about reducing risks rather than sharing them.

I think this might be about risk sharing since they’re partnering with a competitor to take on the project together.

I'm a little confused on this one. Is mitigation also a possibility, since the organization is taking action to address the risk of not having enough employees? I'll have to review my notes to see if that fits.

Okay, let me see if I can break this down. The organization doesn't have enough employees, so they're partnering with a competitor. That sounds like they're sharing the risk, so I'm going to go with option A.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. Is it possible the answer could be transference, since the organization is transferring the risk to the competitor? I'll need to think this through a bit more.

Enhancing the risk by bringing in a competitor? That's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for them.

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be A) Sharing. The organization is sharing the resources and responsibilities with the competitor to mitigate the risk.
