Hypothetical: ABC Services is engaged in difficult negotiations with Local 317. There is a collective bargaining agreement that expired on March 31, 2018. However, the parties have not reached an impasse. The key remaining unresolved issues are wages, (2% v. 1.5%), health insurance payments by unit members (18% v. 20%), and the union desire to control scheduling. Local 317 has now filed the following unfair labor practice with the NLRB: "Since on or about January 1, 2018, the Employer, by its agents and representatives, refused to bargain with Local 317 by refusing to provide the names and wage rates of non-unit secretaries and billing administrative employees. Since on or about January 1, 2018, the Employer refused to bargain by making changes to employees' schedules in the absence of a valid impasse. By the above and other acts, the Employer has interfered with, restrained, and coerced employees in the exercise of their Section 7 rights." The next bargaining session is scheduled for May 2, 2018. How would you reply to the unfair labor practice charge? How would you deal with the remaining issues
