Dexterity Business School Provides Short-Term Training Workshops to a Variety

Multiple Choice

Dexterity Business School provides short-term training workshops to a variety of corporations, out of a chain of small centres across the country. The instructors leading the workshops are hired on a contingent basis, and paid a set lump sum for each program. A supervisor at each location is responsible for recruiting instructors and providing them with Dexterity's prepared teaching materials. At the Canal City location, Andy Ashe has been leading these workshops for several years, and has been asked back several times by local businesses who find his workshops especially popular because of his verbal skills and keen sense of humor. The supervisor, Charlotte Monahan, has found that while her location contracts with several other instructors, businesses often ask for Ashe by name, even agreeing to postpone their contracted sessions until he is available. Dexterity's policies state that all contingent instructors are paid the same rate per workshop. Nevertheless, Ashe is aware of his popularity, and requests that Monahan start giving him a higher rate for his workshops. Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen Ashe's case?

A) Ashe has led more different training workshops than any other contingent worker.
B) Losing Ashe as an employee would mean that companies who prefer his workshops would consider no longer contracting with Dexterity.
C) Ashe has worked for Dexterity for fifteen years, longer than any other contract employee.
D) A local teacher in the high school, Ashe has repeatedly received awards for his classroom performance.
E) The businesses that contract with Dexterity consider the workshops essential to their operation.
