Question

Erica, a vice president of human resources at an automobile company, wants to develop its programs for employee empowerment. However, she is concerned because unions are heavily involved in representing auto workers and might object to empowerment programs.

What statement about the National Labor Relations Board would encourage Erica to move forward with the employee empowerment program?

Answer 1

Answer: b)In its rulings, the NLRB has shown clear support for employee involvement in decision making.

Step-by-step explanation:

The National Labor Relations Board has shown its support for employees being involved in decision making. This means that the employees can therefore choose for themselves if they want to be involved in the Empowerment program themselves withiut having to worry about the NLRB objecting to it.

Had it been the case that employees had little decision making power and left it all up to the board, a situation would arise where the board could decide not to engage in Employee Empowerment as Erica was worried they wouldn't.
