The efforts of the four union members to either switch union positions to nonunion positions or vote

the new union out were not supported by the employees. Do you think the union should have ignored
the four rather than disciplining them?
Yes: The employees were not swayed by their actions and the subsequent dispute was surely
more disruptive to the union. And no: The union had a duty to be the ONLY bargaining agent for
the employees, and it could not be as long as the four continued to talk to the employer, and
make proposals — albeit futile ones. Or in an other we may also say that, Indeed their actions
did not influence the employees and the subsequent dispute certainly was more disturbing to the
union. but The Union was obliged to be the sole negotiating officer for employees, and it could
not be so long as the four people kept discussing with the employer, proposing – although futile.
