Please help, very easy, thanks a lot!
The attached comic involving Russell holding an ON STRIKE sign, and his boss saying "So, Russell. How is your 1-man strike going?" If there is no union, Russell is an at will employee, and the boss fires Russell for this one person strike, even though Russell is representing himself and one other non-management at will employee, meaning it is not a one person strike. Russell wants an increase in his and his coworker's wages or other conditions of employment, then this firing of Russell could be a. a violation of the National Labor Relations Act b. a violation of the Unemployment Compensation Act c. a violation of the Family and Medical Leave Act d. a violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act e. none of the above 3.Explanation / Answer
Option (b), and (c) aren't contextual. For Option (d), FLS Act is for 1) minimum wage, 2) time-and-half overtime, and 3) prohibiting child labor. Here the context in to increase the wages and employment condition so (d) will also not be applicable. It is only the NLR Act which provides for the rights of employees to demand better working condition and wages. Russell is exercising his right to higher wages and thus the employer firing him for holding a one-man strike is against the National Labor Relations Act (Section 7: The Right to Strike).
