What should a union do first when planning a strike?

A. Consult with legal experts
B. Notify management immediately
C. Conduct a strike vote among members
D. Publicize the strike in the media

The correct answer is: C. Conduct a strike vote among members

Conducting a strike vote among union members is a critical first step in planning a strike. This process ensures that there is ample support among the members for the strike, reflecting their collective will and commitment to the cause. A strike vote typically serves as a formal expression of the members' desire to strike, allowing the union leadership to confidently represent the group’s interests and make legitimate decisions moving forward. This vote not only demonstrates solidarity but also provides the union with a clear mandate, which is essential to maintaining unity and strength during negotiations. When a union assesses the level of support through a strike vote, it also empowers members by giving them a voice in the decision-making process, reinforcing the democratic principles often central to union activities.
