Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Strikes are illegal at the federal level and in most states in the public sector, as public employees are considered to have a responsibility to the public and strikes could disrupt essential services. The other options are not entirely accurate. Union growth has been the strongest among white-collar employees, and union membership in the public sector has declined since the 1980s but remained relatively stable in recent years. Executive Order 10988 established collective bargaining by federal employees, not prohibited it. The Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, Title VII, established the Federal Labor Relations Authority, not the Federal Mediation Board.
