b. Cultural differences (e.g., between free trade unions and socialist-linked unions).
c. Differences in international labor relations law systems.
d. A lack of coordination of activities between organized labor in different countries.
e. Different national priorities among different nations as it relates to labor organization.

Answer 1

The option not presenting an obstacle to transnational bargaining with MNCs is (Option e) 'Different national priorities among different nations as it relates to labor organization'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking about the obstacles to transnational bargaining with Multinational Corporations (MNCs). When considering the given options, the one that is not an obstacle is 'Different national priorities among different nations as it relates to labor organization'. This is because while cultural differences, legal system disparities, organized resistance from MNCs, and lack of coordination among international labor can all present significant barriers to collective bargaining, different national priorities do not inherently obstruct the process of transnational bargaining. Instead, they help to shape the unique framework within which labor negotiations take place in each country.
