| | Texas Labor Law |
 | | In time, many aspects of the relationship between management and labor came to be governed by federal laws enacted in response to the social and political strife and economic disruption caused by long strikes in the early part of this century. | | | The history of federal labor legislation is a story of Congress responding to the perceived imbalance of power between organized labor and management in this country, and stepping in to bolster or curtail the power of the labor movement. | | | Obviously, labor laws do not require companies to stay in business; however, if certain conditions are met, an employer who shuts down a plant or relocates the company to another location may violate the NLRA. |

| | labor legislation was passed to improve working conditions. | | | The Fair Labor Standards Act, or Wages and Hours Act (1938), provided for minimum wages and overtime payments for workers in interstate commerce, thus setting standards for many basic industries. | | | By the late 1990s union membership had increased, but the number of union members in the private sector and the percentage of union workers compared to nonunion workers had fallen. |

| | The NLRA was applicable to all firms and employees in activities affecting interstate commerce with the exception of agricultural laborers, government employees, and those persons subject to the Railway Labor Act. | | | Early Labor Laws [*] The Clayton Act In response to pressure to clarify labor's position under untitrust laws, Congress, in 1914, enacted the Clayton Act, which included several major provisions protective of organized labor. | | | Among those unfair labor practices forbidden by the Act were: 1) Dominating or otherwise interfering with formation of a labor union, including the provision of any financial or other support. |

| | Some laws also protect employees who report illegal activity to their supervisor or employer, but you are better protected if you also make a complaint to a government entity. | | | Whistle-blowing laws will typically protect you only after you have actually blown the whistle, by reporting the unlawful activity to a government agency. | | | If you believe that your termination was discriminatory or retaliatory, you will need to file a complaint with the appropriate federal and/or state agency before filing a lawsuit. |

| | Labor Party Discussion Paper: Toward a New Labor Law |
| | This does not mean that labor always loses; unions can win legislative change when business opposition is divided or less than fully committed — for example on bills pertaining to general labor issues like unemployment insurance and the minimum wage. | | | The freedom of labor must include the right to refuse to contribute personal labor to enterprises that assist unfair employers by, for example, supplying them with parts, distributing their products, or financing their operations. | | | Under current law, workers may not be fired for striking, but they may be "permanently replaced" by strikebreakers even if the employer has no need to offer permanent employment in order to obtain sufficient strikebreakers to operate. |

| | The object of the National Labor Relations Act is industrial peace and stability, fostered by collective bargaining agreements providing for the orderly resolution of labor disputes between workers and employees. | | | We assume, without deciding, that the withdrawal of an offer under these circumstances could not serve as a basis for the filing of an unfair labor practice complaint, which might trigger the "blocking charge" rule that the Solicitor General concedes would be implicated by an employer's unlawful withdrawal of recognition. | | | To affirm its rule of decision in this case, indeed, there is no need to invoke the full measure of the "considerable deference" that the Board is due, NLRB v. |
