Q: Read the below conversation. M: Well, what did you think about Candy, the last candidate? Do you think we should hire her? W: She had a very impressive resume, but she seemed to lack the confidence that I think a good manager needs. Did you notice the way that she avoided making eye contact with us while she talked? M: She was a bit nervous, I guess. What else? W: When she first walked into the room to greet us, she didn't shake hands with us or introduce herself at all. I thought that was a bit unprofessional. M: You're right. If she walked into a meeting with our clients like that, it would make our company look bad. That made me worried most. What would the listener say?
A: W: It sure would.
[Q]: Read the below conversation. W: I don't know what to do. I can't seem to get anyone in the hospital to listen to my complaints and this outdated equipment is dangerous. Just look at it. M: Hmm, uh, are you trying to say that it presents a health hazard? W: Yes, I am. The head technician in the lab tried to persuade the hospital administration to replace it, but they are trying to cut costs. M: You are pregnant, aren't you? W: Yes, I am. I made an effort to get my supervisor to transfer me to another department, but he urged me not to complain too loudly. Because the administration is more likely to replace me than an X-ray equipment, I'm afraid to refuse to work. But I'm more afraid to expose my unborn child to the radiation. M: I see what you mean. Well, as your union representative, I have to warn you that it would take quite a while to force management to replace the old machines and attempt to get you transferred may or may not be successful. W: Oh, what am I supposed to do then? M: Workers have the legal right to refuse certain unsafe work assignments under two federal laws, the Occupation or Safety and Health Act and the National Labor Relations Act. But the requirements of either of the Acts may be difficult to meet. W: Do you think I have a good case? What would the listener say?

M: If you do lose your job, the union will fight to get it back for you along with back pay, your lost income. But you have to be prepared for a long wait, maybe after two years.
