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 ACLU's support of the NLRB was a major development for the ACLU, because it marked the first time it accepted that a government agency could be responsible for upholding civil liberties. Until 1937, the ACLU felt that civil rights were best upheld by citizens and private organizations.
