PrepTest 65, Section 3, Question 8
Union member: Some members of our labor union are calling for an immediate strike. But a strike would cut into our strike fund and would in addition lead to a steep fine, causing us to suffer a major financial loss. Therefore, we must not strike now.

The union member's argument is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it
fails to consider that a strike might cause the union to suffer a financial loss even if no fine were imposed
fails to define adequately what constitutes a major financial loss
fails to consider that the benefits to be gained from a strike might outweigh the costs
takes for granted that the most important factor in the labor union's bargaining position is the union's financial strength
fails to establish that there will be a better opportunity to strike at a later time
