-What would you do if you wanted to work for a company and you had to join the union to get the job? Well, I would fight to get the job because there is a law saying i do not have to, it is the Wagner act.
-What if they called a strike over an issue you did not agree with? I would not strike with them simple.
-What other issues might concern you if you had to belong to get a paycheck? I would call a lawyer because of the Wagner act or get fired or quit.

The civil war led to the formation 12 national unions. Labor was in high demand, the workers had a large amount of power. The eight hour movement begins and trade unionism spreads to skilled factory workers in the 1800s. “1852
The Typographical Union founded which is the first national workers organization to endure to the present day.” “First state law limiting women's working day to ten hours passed in Ohio.” In 1852 In 1863 Abraham, Lincoln supported strikes and gave his famous Emancipation Proclamation speech. Many of the first unions were formed during this time. The first labor law”1868
First federal 8 hour day passed, only applies to laborers, mechanics, and workmen employed by the government.” Many new laws and strikes happened and police beat many people as well. The state militia’s were with many stikers but federal troops came to stop the strikes as well. Many of the first unions formed are gone due to the depression. There were many strikes by sit down or just not working and some strikers even killed people and the government killed stikers as well. Now we have high priced laywers and labor laws about anything and everything you can name to protect anybody from harsh working conditions and some to help like the law for pregnant women to have 6 months to take care of the newborn and other helpful laws.

Th e Norris-La Guardia Act prohibition against injunctions in labor disputes was held to be inapplicable to the Government in U.S. v. John L. Lewis.
