Answer 1

Answer:

d. have workers sign authorization cards

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that the first step they will need to take is to have workers sign authorization cards. This would indicate all the workers that are in agreement of joining and forming part of the union. This is needed to make sure that you have the right amount of people necessary to create the union and correctly accomplish the act of unionizing.

Answer 2

Answer:

D. Have the workers sign authorization cards

Explanation:

A sufficient number of authorization cards is needed to form a union in a workplace. NLRB requires atleast 30% of the employees to sign the cards before the next step which is request for recognition can take place. In facilitating the signing of these authorization cards within the company, people like Wilson and others who are interested in unionizing will form an internal Volunteer organizing committee. The person heading the committee will be like an internal messenger for the NLRB. The idea of atleast 30% filling or dining the authorization card is to give a go ahead for the election.
