Part A is answering the Issue question with a YES or NO

Part B is explain a reason to the question

QUESTION 1

Facts- Employees tried to distribute a newsletter in nonworking areas of the company's plant during nonworking time. The newsletter included a section that urged employees to voice opposition to incorporation of states' right-to-work laws into a revised constitution and a section criticizing a presidential veto of an increase in the federal minimum wages. The employer refused to allow distribution, and the NLRB held this was an unfair labor practice.

Issue-

Does the law protect the distribution of this newsletter as a concerted activity?

QUESTION 2

Facts- A union obtained authorization cards from a majority of employees and demanded that it be recognized as the collective-bargaining representative. The employer doubted the union's claimed majority status and suggested that the union petition the NLRB for an election. The union struck for recognition as the bargaining representative and filed a charge of unfair labor practice based on the refusal to bargain.

Issue

Is it an unfair labor practice to refuse to accept evidence of majority status other than the results of a NLRB election?
