Youâd be hard-pressed not to find a pair of co-workers whoâve spent years working in close proximity who donât kinda/sorta secretly hate each other. This oneâs lazy, that oneâs bossy, her cubicle is a mess, heâs always taking vape breaks â weâve all been there.
Congress enacted the NLRA on July 5, 1935. It was welcomed at the time and for numerous years later as the Magna Carta of American labor. Before the law, employers had liberty to spy upon, question, punish, blacklist, and fire union members. In the 1930s workers began to organize in large numbers.
The Supreme Court upheld the NLRA in National Labor Relations Board v. Jones & Laughlin Steel Corporation, 301 U.S. 1 (1937). Afterward, Madden continued to strategically guide the NLRB's legal efforts to strengthen the federal courts' view of the NLRA and the board's actions.
