The 15th convention approved a plan to join with management in creating which council?

• A. Council on Labor Standards
• B. Council on Economic Relations
• C. Council on Industrial Relations
• D. Council on Safety Standards

Answer: (C)

The key idea here is creating a formal group to manage how workers and management interact and resolve issues at the workplace. This is the realm of industrial relations, which covers negotiation of wages, hours, working conditions, and dispute resolution between labor and management. So, the council that fits this purpose is the one named for Industrial Relations. The other titles point to standards, safety, or broader economic topics, not specifically the joint management–labor partnership implied by forming a council.
