A US food processing company has reached a bargaining impasse with its employees' union. Management is afraid that employees will go on strike in two weeks when a large supply of perishable foods items is set to arrive at the facility. In anticipation of this, management decides to close down the facility, lockout the current employees, and hire replacement workers. Can they do this? Yes, but they may only use temporary replacement workers. No, because only a union can initiate a strike action. Yes. They have an unrestricted right to hire replacement workers. No. Replacement workers can never be used. When union contracts include narrowly-written job descriptions and job classifications, they may interfere with: legal enforcement procedural flexibility pay flexibility functional flexibility One of the effects of the labor-related provisions of NAFTA (and the new USMCA) is that: unions are no longer able to block trade deals among the three countries. US unions are refusing to allow undocumented laborers become members. unions in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico are working more cooperatively to advance labor causes in all three countries. unions are increasingly focusing on their national, as opposed to international, interests. An economist (with a neoliberal perspective) is most likely to argue which of the following: The NLRA should be replaced with transformative labor law that models, for example, a works council approach The NLRA should be repealed The NLRA should be loosened to make it easier for unions to organize The NLRA should be tightened to make it harder for employers to violate the law All of the following are examples of "nontariff trade barriers" EXCEPT: Import licensing and product standards manipulated to favor domestic companies Domestic subsidies Taxes on imports Quotas
