Labor Law

The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), also known as the Wagner Act, was enacted in Congress in 1935 and became one of the most important legacies of the New Deal. Prior to the passage of the NLRA, employers had been free to spy on, interrogate, discipline, discharge, and blacklist union members. Reversing years of federal opposition, the statute guaranteed the right of employees to organize labor unions, to engage in collective bargaining, and to take part in strikes. The act also created a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to arbitrate deadlocked labor-management disputes, guarantee democratic union elections, and penalize unfair labor practices by employers. The law applied to all employees involved in the interstate

In her book, Labor and Legality: An Ethnography of a Mexican Immigrant Network, Ruth Gomberg-Muñoz describes the lives of ten busboys, she referrs to as the Lions, living and working in the Chicago area. Gomberg-Muñoz provides an insight into the lives of these undocumented Mexican workers. They share their stories of crossing the border, the affects of their absence on family back in Mexico, and the daily struggles of living in a country without the benefits of citizenship.

Probably the biggest stereotype the Lions contend with is the belief that all Mexicans are hard workers.

Current labor laws are capable of dealing with labor-management problems. There are many labor laws in the United States that govern employment policies and practices. These laws cover a variety of industries and its workers, and should not be abolished. Five important labor laws that have further clarified labor-management roles includes: Norris LaGuardia, Wagner, Taft-Hartley, Landrum-Griffin, and the Civil Service Reform Act, Title VII. Fossum (2009), states that these five laws “enables collective bargaining, regulate labor and management activities, and limit intervention by the federal courts in lawful union activities” (p89).

These laws were mentioned because each one was significant in their ability to bring about change in labor relations through amended legislation.

All the treatment of the Tramps as the book gives is as a result of the Vagrancy laws. More to that is, the description of the cause of the laws, as a means that was developed so as to control labor. It was meant to seek labor when it was in shortage through paying labor very cheaply so as to get labor the following day. However, it would be better that the people would freed from such laws, because the needed labor would still be gotten because in any city it is hard to get such laborers out of natural selection. In the contemporary times, the places that the Tramps would go to hide are manned by the police of the United States.
