question 14

True/False

The employees of a small factory have many complaints about their employer and their working conditions. They gather for a meeting to discuss possible pursuits to solve the problem. By vote, they decide to create a bargaining unit and join a union to represent their collective interests. The union representative contacts the employer to inform him of the employees' actions. The employer refuses to bargain in any fashion. The basis is that he does not recognize the union as the representative of his employees and will not proceed to bargain until the union is "certified." He does not have this right.
