Question

In a typical strike, an employerhas a right to hire replacement workers to substitute for striking workers.​

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Under the Mackay doctrine in U.S. labor law, employers generally may hire replacement workers to continue operations during strikes — so the statement is True.

1) Relevant knowledge points and concepts
- Types of strikes: economic strikes (over wages/benefits) vs. unfair labor practice (ULP) strikes (alleging employer illegal conduct).  
- Mackay Radio & Telegraph Co. precedent: employers may hire replacements for strikers. For economic strikes, replacements may be permanent; for ULP strikes, strikers are entitled to immediate reinstatement and replacements cannot lawfully keep the job.  
- Employer obligations: hiring replacements does not lawfully justify discrimination based on union activity; bargaining duty and other NLRA protections still apply.

2) Step-by-step reasoning
- Step 1: Identify the common (“typical”) strike context — most work stoppages are economic strikes.  
- Step 2: Apply Mackay doctrine: in an economic strike, employer may hire temporary or permanent replacements to continue business. Thus the employer has the right to substitute workers.  
- Step 3: Note limits: if the strike is a ULP strike, the employer cannot refuse reinstatement; hiring replacements in that context won’t defeat strikers’ reinstatement rights.

3) Calculations/intermediate steps
- Not applicable (legal reasoning rather than numerical calculation).

4) Why the correct answer is correct
- Because established labor-law precedent explicitly permits employers to hire replacements during economic strikes; this is a recognized right subject to statutory and constitutional limits and to classification of the strike.

5) Why the other option is incorrect
- Answer "False" would assert employers do not have that right; that contradicts established law (Mackay) allowing replacements in typical/economic strikes. While there are important exceptions (ULP strikes, discrimination), the general rule supports the True choice.

6) Conclusion
- Therefore the correct response is True, matching the provided answer.
