1. Company "A" recognized the union 11 days after takeover and began negotiations. A dissenting judge believed the "Board imposed" wages and benefits should only have been in effect from the day of the takeover until negotiations reached an impasse. Would you have considered such an order maintenance of the status quo?
2. Company "A" chose to offer all employees their same job and to keep the managers and supervisors from Company "B." It must have known it was a successor employer. Why do you think it waited 11 days to recognize the union?
