Solution

failed

The answer is A: federal labor law.

Explanation for each option:

A. Federal labor law: This is the correct answer. Under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), employees have the right to engage in union activities and other concerted activities for mutual aid or protection. Discharging employees for participating in union activities is considered an unfair labor practice, and Link and Meryl can bring an action against NRI under federal labor law.

B. Federal or state unemployment law: This option is incorrect. Unemployment laws generally provide benefits to individuals who are unemployed through no fault of their own. They do not address wrongful termination due to union activities.

C. State workers' compensation law: This option is incorrect. Workers' compensation laws are designed to provide benefits to employees who are injured on the job. They do not cover issues related to wrongful termination or union activities.

D. The employment at-will doctrine: This option is incorrect. The employment at-will doctrine allows employers to terminate employees for any reason that is not illegal. However, terminating employees for engaging in union activities is illegal under federal labor law, making this option inapplicable in this context.
