Oregon's Workplace Freedom Act prohibits employers from requiring attendance at meetings where the employer intends to discuss politics or religion. It also prohibits employers from taking any adverse action against employees who do not attend those meetings. We need a similar law in Washington, so that employers can't have mandatory meetings in which employees are dissuaded from joining unions.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the argument?
A) There is no evidence that mandatory meetings wherein employers discuss politics have any effect on union membership.
B) After the passage of Oregon's law, unions reported fewer complaints about mandatory company meetings.
C) The Workplace Freedom Act was part of a national effort primarily addressing religious issues in the workplace.
D) There is already a law in Washington prohibiting mandatory meetings of a political nature.
E) Employers always find ways to circumvent such laws.
