Final Answer : D, Explanation :  The union does not have to have management approval of its representative on the negotiating committee. In fact, it is the responsibility of the union to select their own representatives for the committee. The other choices are incorrect as the employer and the union often have to come to an agreement on the management representative, lawyers may be selected as members, national union representatives may be included, and non-union members or employees may also be included on the negotiating committee.
