Assignment title: Management
Reflection Paper #3
1. Discuss the history of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). Based on what you learned last
week as well as in chapter three, what factors (e.g., political, industrial, social, economic)
contributed to the passage of the law? Why was it passed when it was rather than, say, 20 years
earlier?
2. Explain how each of the important labor-employment relations laws (Wagner Act, Taft-
Hartley, Landrum-Griffin) affect the relationship of employer and employee.
3. Are the current labor laws (see above) capable of dealing with labor management problems
today (in the private and public sectors) or should they be abolished? If abolished what should
their replacements address or if not abolished, what changes should be made.
