Group of answer choices

b.This is a violation of the National Labor Relations Act.
c.This is not a violation of the NLRA because Maria's Bakery is bargaining with the BEA.
d.The parties can bargain these issues but do not have to do so.

Answer 1

The correct statement is option a. This is not a violation of the NLRA because the pay increased along with the production quotas.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statement is option a. This is not a violation of the NLRA because the pay increased along with the production quotas.

The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) protects the rights of employees to engage in collective bargaining and other concerted activities. In this case, Maria's Bakery increased both the production quotas and the pay of its employees during the negotiation process with the Bakers' Equity Association. This action shows that the company is willing to negotiate and improve the working conditions, which aligns with the rights protected by the NLRA.
