Question #: 31
Topic #: 7
[All SPHR Questions]

As an HR Professional you should be familiar with the terminology, practices, and rules governing union-based strikes. An organization utilizes union labor and non-union labor in their operations. The union goes on a strike; so the organization shifts work to the non-union labor to offset the effects of the strike. If the union labor decides to picket the operations of the non-union labor, what term is assigned to this process?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Answer option A is correct.

When a union is on a strike and the organization shifts work to non-union operations, the union can picket the non-union operations. This is called a double breasting picket.

Answer option D is incorrect. A sympathy strike occurs when non-striking workers don't cross the picket line of striking workers.

Answer option B is incorrect. The common situs picketing happens when members of a picketing labor union picket a workplace in which multiple employers work. This could include employers who the picketers don't have a disagreement with.

Answer option C is incorrect. A wildcat strike is when a collective bargaining agreement restricts strikes, but workers strike anyway.

I’m leaning towards "wildcat strikes," but that doesn’t seem to fit the scenario exactly. I wish I had reviewed more about picketing types!

I feel like "double breasting picketing" could be the right answer since it involves both union and non-union labor, but I need to double-check my notes.

I remember practicing a question about strikes, but I can't recall if it was about sympathy strikes or something else. This is tricky!

I think the term might be "common situs picketing," but I'm not entirely sure. It sounds familiar from the readings.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The options seem to cover different aspects of confidentiality, but I'm not sure which one is the "best" reason. I'll need to think this through carefully.

This seems like a straightforward question about setting up persistent aliases in a terminal. I'll need to think through the options carefully.

I think the answer is B - Smart lists. That seems like the best way to send one email to two different segments with different header images.
