Week 2 Labor Law

Q 1. Why do you think the timing of labor legislation in America (beginning with the Railway Labor Act and National Labor Relations Act, and working forward) was as it was? What was happening in our country during these times economically, geo-politically, etc. that influenced this lawmaking? 2. Looking at the evolution of labor law since then, do you think that our modern laws do enough to address protections and support for organized labor and collective bargaining relative to other first-world countries? In other words, are we progressive in this area, or falling behind? Explain your answer.

America was going through a turmoil when it enacted its Labor legislation and implementing them was even more critical. After the World War I, America experienced a rapid growth of employment with the influx of many industries. However, the geo-political scenario of the nation back then was still not normal and due to this reason, surfacing and establishing these laws were very critical. It has been learnt that both the Railway Labor Act and National Labor Relations Act confronted with major national crisis, which emanated because of their surrounding area.
