Answer the following statements true (T) or false (F)

Question

1. Frank is a supervisor at a major big box retail company. He learns that several of the employees have been meeting to discuss the possibility of unionizing the store. Frank approaches the leaders of the group and offers an immediate 2% pay increase for all employees, with an additional 2% to follow next year, if they agree to stop their organizing activity. Frank's actions are legal under the Wagner Act (NLRA).
2. The Wagner Act (NLRA) is intended to protect the rights of workers to, as a group, talk to their employer about wages, hours, and working conditions even when they are not part of a union.
3. At a local restaurant one evening, a supervisor from a large manufacturing plant is seated in a booth directly behind four employees of the plant she works at. She overhears these employees discussing the possibility of unionizing the plant and stays to learn more about their plans. The next day, she tells her box about what she has learned. The supervisor's actions are legal under the Wagner Act (NLRA).
4. Northern Lights is a large manufacturing company that makes lighted signs and kiosks for major retailers and businesses. In an attempt to control the company's exposure to negative publicity through social media, the Director of HR issues a blanket policy prohibiting employees from posting any information about the company on their social media pages. The company's policy would be considered legal under the Wagner Act (NLRA).
5. Four employees engage in a spirited Facebook exchange complaining about their company's poor pay, benefits, and safety record. Because the employees' actions are protected under the Wagner Act (NLRA), the company cannot punish them for the posts.
