Answer 1

Answer:

C) Most private and public workers have the right to hold an election to choose what union they want to represent them, if any.

Explanation:

An employee is generally not required to join a union even, in most cases if a union exists and it has an agreement with the employer regarding employees joining it, the most it can do is charge everyone the union fees. This means that the employees are required to pay union fees even if they do not want to join the union. Full union membership cannot be required.

Also, employees are free to decide in an election to what union they want to belong to, or if they want to belong to any type of union at all. E.g. most of the employees from foreign car manufacturers have chosen not to join the UAW union (Toyota, Honda, Mercedes Benz, BMW, etc.).
