Summary
The US ranks far behind Sweden and Canada in workplace safety. In all three countries, joint labor-management committees have been very successful in reducing workplace injuries. In the US, these communities are only found in the companies that have voluntarily established them, whereas, in Sweden and several Canadian provinces, they are required by law and exist in all medium and large-sized workplaces.
Strongly Supported Conclusions
Joint labor-management committees play a role in reducing occupational industries.

Which one of the following ██ █████████ ██ ███ ███████████ ██████
a
The establishment of █████ ██████ ██████████ ██ ███ ████████████ ███ █████ ██████████ ██ ███ ██████ ██████ █████ ██████ ██ █ █████████ ██ ████████████ █████████
The stimulus says that these committees are successful in reducing occupational injuries. We also know that countries where they are mandatory (Sweden and Canada), have much higher workplace safety.
b

There is no information about the efficacy of joint safety committees established by law vs those voluntarily established. This answer choice requires close reading to eliminate!

There is no information about workplace safety prior to the passage of any laws.

There is no information about Sweden or Canada before the passage of mandatory joint safety committee laws.

There is no support for the idea that the US would surpass Sweden and Canada in workplace safety. This comparative statement requires a bunch of assumptions to make it work.
