Is anyone familiar with Agency and partnerships as it pertains to business law? I'm looking for help breaking down and understanding theses areas of business law. I need help deepening my understanding for the questions below.

1. Why is there a mandatory duty to bargain in labor-management negotiations when such a duty does not exist elsewhere at law?

2. What are the advantages and disadvantages of a partnership, as opposed to conducting business in a corporate form?

3. Is anyone able to talk me through the legal concept of apparent agency?

a. How can someone be considered an agent without explicit authority?

b. How can a business protect itself from falling "victim" to liability through apparent agency?
