What do yellow dog contracts state regarding employee union membership at the Fox Agency?

A. Employees cannot join unions by signing agreements
B. Joining a union can cause someone to be fired
C. Both a and b
D. Neither a nor b

The correct answer is: A. Employees cannot join unions by signing agreements

Yellow dog contracts are agreements that typically stipulate that an employee must agree not to join a labor union as a condition of employment. By signing such a contract, employees are essentially relinquishing their right to associate with a union, which aligns with the provided correct response. These contracts were historically utilized by employers to suppress union organizing efforts within the workforce. While the second choice mentions the potential for termination due to union membership, the key aspect of yellow dog contracts is primarily focused on the requirement for employees to agree not to join a union. Therefore, the correct answer reflects the understanding of these contracts as they relate specifically to the prohibition of union membership enforced through the signing of such agreements.
