Question

What legislation did Congress pass in 1932, that prohibited federal court injunctions in nonviolent labor disputes, thereby declaring that workers should be permitted to organize unions and use their collective power to achieve legitimate economic ends?

a. The Wagner Act
b. The Norris-LaGuardia Act
c. The National Labor Relations Act
d. The Labor-Management Relations Act

Answer 1

Answer: b. The Norris-LaGuardia Act.

Explanation: The Norris-LaGuardia Act brought an end to yellow dog contracts being legally upheld. Yellow dog contracts is an illegal agreement between an employer and an employee that restricts the employee from joining up with the company's labor union or any other. As a federal law, the act helped create a positive right of noninterference by employers against employees joining trade unions, restricting court injunctions that made workers refrain from strikes, boycotts and protesting in labor disputes, thus protecting the self-organization and liberty of employees.

Answer 2

b. The Norris-LaGuardia Act

Step-by-step explanation:

The Norris-LaGuardia act also called anti-injunction bill. This law states that agreement entered by employers not to join labour unions as a condition for employment is considered void in a law court.

This also states that employees are at freewill to join any union without any form of interference from the employer.
