Question

You are the Human Resources manager for Gregarious Garage (GG), a company that makes garage doors.  The president of GG, Billy Boss (BB) emails you to tell you about an incident that happened over the weekend.

Holly Hopeful (HH) was working Sunday, trying to make some extra money.  HH worked every day that week, and was tired, but she decided she would work, anyway.  Due to her being tired, her hand slipped while she was cutting a door, and she sliced her hand on a blade. 

Word gets out about HH's injury.  Monday morning, HH's friend and coworker, Jack Jumpy (JJ), refuses to work on the machine.  BB is irate at HH for getting hurt and costing GG money.  BB is also angry at JJ for not working, because nobody else except HH and JJ can run that machine.  BB sacks both the employees and he emails you to tell you they are terminated immediately. 

You remember talking to HH and JJ when they asked for your help in contacting a local union for employee representation.  BB does not say this, but you suspect BB is using the injury as a pretext to get rid of HH and JJ for trying to form a union.
