Question: Rodgers Graphics, a commercial printer, refused to bargain with the Communications Workers of America, Local 14, after its collective bargaining agreement expired. The company claimed that it had a good faith reasonable doubt of the union's majority status, based on the following facts:
• The company's president, Doyle McDonald, gathered from frequent conversations with various employees that the employees were not happy with the union.
• Cynthia Termath, an employee who served as one of two union stewards, told McDonald that most employees had lost confidence in the union, did not think it was representing them well, no longer wanted the union to represent them, and were generally dissatisfied with it. Termath gained her information from her conversations with about sixty other employees.
• Ignacio Burgos, the other union steward, also told McDonald that the employees were dissatisfied with the union.
• Company managers informed McDonald that there was a "lack of interest" in the union among employees. Does Rodgers' refusal to bargain with the union violate Sections 8(a)(1) and 8(a)(5) of the NLRA? Explain your answer.
