Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR) — Question 20

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 options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct term is 'Double Breasting Picketing,' which refers to the situation where union workers strike while the employer continues operations with non-union workers, leading to picketing at non-union sites. 'Common situs picketing' involves picketing at a location where both union and non-union workers are present, while 'Wildcat strikes' are unauthorized strikes not sanctioned by the union. 'Sympathy strike' occurs when workers strike in support of another group but is not specifically what is described in this scenario.
