Answer: C.) Collective Bargaining

Explanation: When decision makers in an establishment or organization indulge in negotiation with employees who may be represr tes by trade union members in the organization in other to resolve conflicting issues relating to workers welfare, employee demands or required employee input and so on, such that the negotiating parties eventually reach a compromise, such type of strategy is called COLLECTIVE BARGAINING. It could be related to the scenario above, where George's thought was echoed by other members and the labor union indulged the company's board such that a wage increment was eventually agreed upon.
