Question

This is a provision under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), which excludes supervisors from being included in bargaining units, except for those covered by the Railway Labor Act. A is partly true, as Railway Labor Act does place restrictions on the activities of unions and management, but it is not specifically related to an election. C is not entirely correct, as the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) will certify a union if it receives a majority (50%+1) of the votes. D is not always true, as the size of the bargaining unit is just one factor that influences election outcomes.
