Question

Ben is a member of the electricians' union, which is currently striking against Rawlings Manufacturing. However, Ben does not support the strike and does not want to participate, so he is continuing to work at Rawlings. As a result, Ben could be fined as high as ________ percent of his wages.

Answer 1

60%

Step-by-step explanation:

The union cannot prohibit Ben from going back to work but they can take disciplinary action against him for doing so. Federal courts have ruled in favor of different unions regarding disciplinary actions and as long as Ben remains a union member he can be fined, but not forced to resign. If Ben wants to avoid paying the fine, he should leave the union before going back to work.
