Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
Answer option A is correct.
When a union is on a strike and the organization shifts work to non-union operations, the union can picket the non-union operations. This is called a double breasting picket.
Answer option D is incorrect. A sympathy strike occurs when non-striking workers don't cross the picket line of striking workers.
Answer option B is incorrect. The common situs picketing happens when members of a picketing labor union picket a workplace in which multiple employers work.
This could include employers who the picketers don't have a disagreement with.
Answer option C is incorrect. A wildcat strike is when a collective bargaining agreement restricts strikes, but workers strike anyway.

he correct answer is B. Common situs picketing. Common situs picketing occurs when union labor pickets a site where both union and non-union employees work, typically targeting the entire worksite rather than just the operations involving union labor. This often happens when an employer shifts work to non-union labor during a strike.
