, Q1. Under the National Labor Relations Act, which of the following actions by an
employer constitutes an unfair labor practice that would also support a Gissel
bargaining order?
A. Permanently replacing economic strikers during a lawful strike
B. Withdrawing recognition from a union that has lost majority support due to
employee turnover
C. Committing serious unfair labor practices that undermine the union's majority and
make a fair election impossible
D. Locking out employees to pressure the union during contract negotiations
Correct Answer: C. Committing serious unfair labor practices that undermine the
union's majority and make a fair election impossible
Rationale: A Gissel bargaining order is issued when an employer's egregious unfair labor
practices have dissipated the union's majority and tainted the election process, making a
fair rerun election impossible. The NLRB orders the employer to bargain with the union as
a remedy. Permanent replacement of strikers (A) is lawful, withdrawal of recognition
based on actual loss of majority (B) is permissible, and a lockout (D) is a legitimate
economic weapon.
Why Wrong:
A - Permanent replacement of economic strikers is a lawful employer response to a
strike, not an unfair labor practice.
B - Withdrawal of recognition is permissible if the union has actually lost majority
support, provided no employer misconduct caused it.
D - Lockouts are lawful economic weapons during negotiations, not unfair labor
practices.
Reference: Gissel Packing Co., 395 U.S. 575 (1969); NLRA § 8(a)(5)
Q2. In a Title VII disparate impact claim, the plaintiff successfully establishes that a
facially neutral employment practice disproportionately excludes a protected class.
The employer then argues that the practice is job-related and consistent with business
necessity. Which of the following evidentiary standards applies to the employer's
defense?
A. The practice must be the least discriminatory alternative available
B. The practice must be shown to predict successful job performance
C. The employer must prove that the practice is essential to the business's survival
D. The employer must demonstrate that the practice is required by law
Correct Answer: B. The practice must be shown to predict successful job
performance
Rationale: Under the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the employer must demonstrate that the
challenged practice is 'job related for the position in question and consistent with business
