A Taft-Hartley Trust is established by which group?

Labor unions or associations
Employers in a Multiple Employer Trust
Employees working for more than one employer
Credit unions in the same area

The correct answer is: Labor unions or associations

A Taft-Hartley Trust is established specifically by labor unions or associations, which allows them to provide benefits to their members. This type of trust is created under the provisions of the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947, which was designed to balance the power of labor unions and employers. The act permits the establishment of multi-employer trust funds and ensures that both labor and management can participate in the trust, though labor unions take the initiative to form such trusts for the primary purpose of delivering health benefits and pensions to their members. Other groups, such as employers in a Multiple Employer Trust or employees working for more than one employer, may certainly have interests tied to employee benefits and insurance, but they do not specifically establish a Taft-Hartley Trust. Credit unions, while they may offer financial services and community support, are not the entities that form these types of trusts for labor-related benefits. Overall, the defining characteristic of Taft-Hartley Trusts is their establishment by labor unions or associations to provide structured employee benefit plans.
