Labor Relations Law

Labor relations law concepts, as created in the 1930's by the NLRA, no longer are applicable today. Unions are not so common today, especially in the private sector where they are no more than 9%. Congress is being asked to step in and change the outdated labor laws created by the NLRA and the Supreme Court. Citizens feel they should: eliminate exclusive representation or pass a right-to-work law, allow labor-management corporation that is not unionized, codify the Supreme Court's ruling that employers have the right to hire permanent workers should its original workers strike, and to destroy the Supreme Court's ruling that prohibits federal prosecution of unionists that perform acts of extortion and violence when such acts are undertaken as "legitimate union objectives" among other laws.

Fast Facts

  • Management and labor are not natural enemies as thought to be in the 1930's.
  • Unions composed about 36% of the American labor market in 1953 and have shrunk to 9% in 2001 and thus are not as competitive as non-union employers.
  • Innovation is needed by employers and workers as well as freedom to adjust to changing market conditions and earn rewards that come from a prosperous world economy.
