【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.
