C: Encourage nonunion employees to talk about the reasons they don't want the union.
D: Tell employees that the company will have to move the jobs to another country if the union is elected.
Correct Answer:
B. Point out the consequences of unionization based on past facts.
Explanation

Answer option B is correct. The company may make truthful statements about a unionized environment during an organizing campaign, such as pointing out that employees will have to pay dues to the union. Although nonunion employees are free to talk about their reasons for not wanting a union (C), it is an unfair labor practice for the employer to encourage them to do so. Telling employees that the company will have to move the jobs to another country if the union is elected (D) is also a ULP, because it constitutes a threat. Employers may not threaten, interrogate, promise, or spy on (TIPS) employees during an organizing campaign (A). Chapter: Employee and Labor Relations Objective: Review Questions
