【答案解析】[听力原文]
W: On the matter of employer-employee relations, we read a lot and hear a lot about union problems and strikes.
M: Well, I think that, from an employer"s standpoint, the easiest thing for an employer to do would be to join a union.
W: Could you make it clear?
M: The reason is that you have the security of never having to worry about having employees.
W: Uh-huh...
M: You"d be meeting a certain criteria because the unions set the criteria for the people that work—their salaries, their fringe benefits, and so on.
W: And you probably have one outfit to deal with.
M: That"s correct. So from the employee"s standpoint, of course, you have the problem that the employee is a captive to a set of criteria...
W: Yeah, that"s right.
M: And his freedom is greatly reduced because of the fact that his bargaining agent is someone else—it"s not himself.
W: He is no longer in an individual-to-employer situation.
M: That is correct.
W: Is it a trade-off to a certain extent?
M: My feeling is that"s one of the great advantages working for a small business which is non-union. You have a higher degree of freedom. And that it"s much easier from the employee"s standpoint.
W: Uh-hm...That"s fine.
M: But when you become a captive to any big organization—whether it"s a corporation, a union or a government, you just absolutely lose your freedom.
