b protecting the right of workers to continue group health benefits

c job protection in the event of a serious family or medical reason

d job protection for workers who engage in collective bargaining

Explanation:

• COBRA (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act): Allows employees (and their families) to continue group health insurance coverage for a limited time after leaving a job.
• FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act): Provides job - protected leave for employees to deal with serious family or medical issues.
• NLRB (National Labor Relations Board): Deals with labor - management relations and collective bargaining.
• OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration): Focuses on workplace safety.

For the first question, since the situation is about continuing health insurance after leaving a job, COBRA is relevant.

For the second question:

• Option a: Protecting safe work environments is OSHA's domain.
• Option b: Continuing group health benefits is COBRA.
• Option c: FMLA provides job protection for serious family or medical reasons.
• Option d: NLRB is related to collective bargaining job protection.

Answer:

First question: a. COBRA
Second question: c. Job protection in the event of a serious family or medical reason
