How federal legislation support the establishment of unions and union rights
The federal legislation helped in the establishment of unions and union rights by
establishing Acts that supported the formation of unions this acts includes; Norris-LaGuardia Act
1932, which had five changes that helped strengthen labor union powers. These changes
included; union free contract, which helped employee join unions without fear of intimidation
(Azoulai, 2014). The strike injunction this refrained federal judges from issuing injunctions to
end strikes. Labor union immunity, this gave all members of unions’ immunity against
prosecutions under antitrust law.
The legal standing to strangers in disputes and the special legal protection for unions. The
national labor Act 1935, this brought about provision of exclusive representation, members are
represented by unions in rising they concerns. Union security this helped unions, enforce their
monopolies. Forced bargaining rules, this stated that, if any party was forced in bargaining the
contract signed is null and void. Company unions this helped employers to form company unions
and bargain with employees.
If the legislations had not been passed and success in union establishment
If the legislation had not been passed, labor unions would not have developed because
they would not have any rules or regulations that would help voice their grievances as well as
protect them from harassment based on the existing laws that were against formation or existence
of unions. The unions would not have succeed in establishing themselves as no rules were in
place to help support their formation
