Answer option B is correct.
The NLRB will conduct a decertification election if the employees present a petition signed by 30
percent of the employees in the bargaining unit. Management may not participate in or encourage
employees to circulate the petition or provide any support in the process. Doing so is considered an
unfair labor practice. A union can be deauthorized (C) if employees want to remove a union security
clause, such as dues check-off. If there is a valid CBA in place (D), the NLRB will not direct an election.
The NLRA prohibits an election if one took place during the preceding 12 months (A).
