Passage Summary: A strike is coming unless arbitration happens, but arbitration needs a specific agreement that the union probably won't sign, so a strike is the probable outcome.

Conclusion: A strike at AutoFaber Inc. is likely to occur.

Reasoning: A strike will happen unless there is independent arbitration, which requires both sides to agree to binding terms—an agreement the union is unlikely to make.

Analysis: The structure here is a conditional chain involving probability: X will happen unless Y occurs. Y can only occur if Z happens. Z is unlikely to happen. Therefore, X is likely. When looking for a parallel, ensure the answer choice maintains this 'unless' structure and the shift from a requirement to a probability. We are essentially looking for a 'failure to meet a necessary condition' that leads back to a predicted outcome.
