| | labor union - encyclopedia article about labor union. |
 | | Unions of workers in the private sector are tightly regulated and overseen by the United States Department of Labor under the authority of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), passed in 1935, which is Administered by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). | | | Unions for public sector workers are governed by labor laws and labor boards in each of the 50 states; in many states, typically those in the north, these laws and boards are modeled after the NLRA and the NLRB. | | | While unions have sometimes been very strong, as of 2005 they are relatively weak and in decline, due in part to the actions of Prime Minister John Howard and his Liberal government. |

| | Labor Union Reform |
| | Under the Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act, the Executive Board members are legally liable to the members for violations of their fiduciary duties to the local and its membership. | | | Local unions shall have their books audited annually and a copy of such audit must be filed with the General Secretary-Treasurer within sixty (60) days after the expiration of the audit period. | | | As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Union incurred a deficiency of receipts over expenditures of $33,536 for the year ending December 31, 1993; as of that date, there was a fund balance deficit of $23,905. |

| | History of Labor Unions |
| | "The various trades have been affected by the introduction of machinery, the subdivision of labor, the use of women's and children's labor and the lack of an apprentice system-so that the skilled trades were rapidly sinking to the level of pauper labor," the AFL declared. | | | The second reason for union decline is that new additions to the labor force have traditionally had little loyalty to organized labor. | | | Because more and more women and teenagers are working and their incomes tend to be a family's second income, they have a proclivity towards accepting lower wages, thus defeating the purpose of organized labor. |
