The National Labor Relations Act of 1935
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper discussing the history of
this New Deal law. Labor unrest had been well known before World War I, but the federal
government largely had remained aloof from the labor movement. The Wagner Act
provided a legal basis for the existence of labor unions; the Taft-Hartley amendment 12
years later largely did the same for employers. The paper discusses each of these laws;
labor conditions preceding the NLRA; and several ways they are still affecting US business.
Bibliography lists 10 sources.

The Reality of Minimum Wage Laws
[ send me this paper ]
An 11 page paper discussing the effect of minimum wage in terms of supply and demand. Attempting to equate a minimum wage with a living wage creates a no-win situation for everyone involved, particularly unskilled or inexperienced workers. Minimum wage needs to exist, but certainly should not be increased. Rather, the federal government needs to allow market forces to have more freedom to operate, leading to a form of prosperity undergirded by more than political rhetoric. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
