  2. Double breasting
  3. Yellow dogging
  4. Single roofing
Explanation
Answer - B - Double breasting occurs when a company that owns or operates union as well as non-union operations shifts work to the non-union operation in an effort to diminish the impact of the strike.

Key Takeaway: Featherbedding occurs when an employer agrees to pay wages to union member whether or not their work is needed. Yellow dogging does not exist as an expression, but a yellow dog contract is one in which an employer agrees to give the employee a job, as long as the employee agrees not to join or have any involvement with a labor union. There is no expression known as single roofing in labor relations.
