The Cruel Legacy of Taft-Hartley By RALPH NADER, CounterPunch
A Labor Day Call for Rights for Working People
The general rule of law for employees is employment at will--this means an employee can be fired for any reason, no reason or a bad reason without recourse. Workers gained rights in the early Twentieth Century when the union movement developed and workers joined together to bargain with employers. But that movement was stalled by laws that put up barriers to workers joining together in a union. The civil rights movement for workers should seek a Bill or Rights for Workers, including the right to organize a union and a living wage for all full-time workers among other rights.------------------------------------------- posted 5:55 AM :: reference link ::
