1. Let’s assume you have a friend who knows very little about collective bargaining
or its history in the private sector in the U.S. Please explain the following: (1)
how would you explain the NLRA and its evolution (through Taft Hartley and
Landrum Griffin) over time and (2) how do would you explain the Trump
administration’s recent decisions and actions regarding the NLRB?
Please feel free to use Google, Bing DuckDuckGo and/or ChatGPT as well as
assigned materials to explore your answers to these questions but make sure to
indicate when your information comes from one of these sources.
2. Compare and contrast the Railway Labor Act (RLA) and the National Labor
Relations Act (NLRA). Which do you think is more favorable to collective
bargaining from the worker/union perspective?
3. Some of the provisions of the National Labor Relations Act were subsequently
amended by the Taft-Hartley Act. Which of these changes do you consider most
significant in terms of altering the balance of power between employers and
workers in organizing and collective bargaining? Explain.
