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

Question

1. If an employer or union threatens or harasses employees in a way that distorts their free choice in a union election, the NLRB can declare the election invalid.
2. Just three hours before a union representation election was to start, the company president wandered through the plant and handed each employee a fake "pink slip" (termination notice) that said simply, "A yes vote = A pink slip." The union later lost the election and employees admitted they were scared they would lose their jobs if they voted yes. In such a situation, the NLRB could declare the election invalid and hold a new election.
3. After finding out about a unionization attempt at his company, the General Manager held a mandatory meeting with the employees. During the meeting, he told employees that they didn't need a union. To prove his point, he offered the employees a 5% pay increase. The GM's actions are legal under the NLRA.
4. The only time the NLRB can determine employees were not able to exercise their free choice in a union election and declare the vote invalid is when either the employer or the union commits an unfair labor practice.
5. The NLRB can rule that actions of a third party (i.e., one that is not affiliated with either the union or with management) have had a negative impact on employee free choice in union elections and declare the vote invalid.
