The correct choice is: The concept of strength in numbers.
Why: collective bargaining pools workers’ power and resources, creates leverage (unified demands, strike/withdrawal credibility), reduces the employer’s ability to play individuals off one another, and produces enforceable, consistent agreements. The other two statements are wrong — it’s generally harder (not easier) for an employer to refuse a united group than to refuse an individual, and collective bargaining is about negotiating together, not negotiating alone.
