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?
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. Reference: PHR Exam Prep, Pearson Education, ISBN: 978-0-7897-3677-2.
