The ally doctrine? More like the 'buddy-buddy' doctrine, am I right? Gotta love these HR questions that make you feel like you're in a bad episode of 'The Office'.

This question is giving me a headache. Option A sounds like it could be right, but I'm not completely sure. Maybe I need to brush up on my union strike terminology.

Hmm, I'm a little confused. Isn't the ally doctrine about unions being able to include friends and family in the picket line? Option B sounds like the correct one to me.
