C: A statement of the company's desire to remain union free
D: A promise of extended benefits if the company remains union free Correct answer
Correct Answer:
D. A promise of extended benefits if the company remains union free
Explanation

Answer option D is correct. A company cannot threaten employees or make promises to them contingent on the workforce remaining union free. A philosophy statement should be geared toward communicating the company's desire to work directly with the employees in discussions about working conditions or benefits. If a union does attempt to organize, it is important for the employer to work directly with outside council to determine the strategic benefits of discussing the desire to remain union free and the disadvantages/limitations of unions as employee representatives.
