Consolidated is undergoing a unionization campaign. Prior to the election, management says that the union is unnecessary to protect workers. Management also provided bonuses and wage increases to the workers during this period. The employees reject the union. The company:

Committed an unfair labor practice when it stated that the union was unnecessary to protect workers.

Committed an unfair labor practice when it granted benefits during a campaign unless it can prove that the benefits would have been granted anyway and were not related to the unionization effort.

Did not commit and unfair labor practice when it increased wages, even if the increase was designed to sway the vote against the union.

Did not commit any unfair labor practice because unfair labor practices cannot be committed until the union is elected as the employees' representative.
