## Q44 key (What Supervisors May Say)

1. The script may state Halcyon's preference for remaining nonunion, explain that bargaining outcomes are negotiated and not guaranteed, accurately state published dues and strike wage consequences, and affirm free choice and nonretaliation. Missed: supervisors are left with labels rather than usable lawful language.
2. The plant-closure statement is an unsupported threat. Substitute: no supervisor should predict closure or transfer; questions about business effects go to the designated contact, who may discuss only objective external facts if any exist. Missed: employees hear management-created job loss tied to voting.
3. Asking who signed cards is prohibited interrogation. Substitute: do not ask how anyone will vote or who supports the union; supervisors may listen to volunteered views without recording names for adverse use. Missed: the campaign produces direct coercion evidence.
4. The conditional $2 raise is an unlawful promise. The previously approved cost-of-living increase may proceed because contemporaneous records predate the campaign, and the script must say it is unrelated to union choice. Missed: a lawful planned benefit is withheld or converted into a bribe.
5. Photographing cars creates surveillance and must not occur absent an actual neutral security incident handled without tracking union attendance. Missed: security becomes monitoring.
6. A cafeteria ban applied only to union discussion is selective enforcement. Apply the same lawful nonwork-area rules to union, sports, charities, and other subjects. Missed: ordinary policy becomes discriminatory interference.
7. The guide must direct supervisors to report complaints to HR or counsel, preserve communications, avoid investigating sympathies, and never retaliate. Missed: supervisors improvise after receiving a coercion report.
