Why labor Unions? 1932 --> People were fighting for jobs and food.
NIRA (National Industrial Recovery Act) of 1933 --> Roosevelt worked WITH businesses to fix prices and production to HALT deflationary trends. Violent price cutting and wage cutting which led to riots in the streets. (Schlesinger pg 162)
It granted labor to bargain collectively. US Supreme court struck NRA down--States can't bargain.... Each Business had to bargain with its workers.... Business power = Worker power.... That's how you solve problems...
Oppression never solved problems...only creates problems... Maybe that's why FOREIGN businesses WANT a labor union...clears up safety, worker disputes.... Greed never does...
