Abstract

Senator Wagner's New Labor Bill

Rabinowitz, Herbert | March 28, 1934 issue

add to cart   close window

After a long period of anxious waiting, the promised bill to put teeth in Section 7-a of the National Industrial Recovery Act and to give a firm basis to the National Labor Board has finally appeared. It is not without a certain aura of tacit Administration approval. The act, to be known as the Labor Disputes Act, confers much the same rights upon labor—to organize freely and to bargain collectively—as Section 7-a, but these rights, especially the various kinds of interference forbidden to employers, are more minutely particularized. The latter are termed "unfair labor practices," and the courts are given jurisdiction to enjoin them.
