QUESTION

Angie had a job interview with a trucking company. The company representatives said they were impressed by her driving record as a truck driver and wanted to hire her.

In the paperwork they gave her to sign was a contract requiring Angie not to join the union that represents truck drivers. Angie refused to sign that contract. What does Angie know?
A) Angie knows that the Fair Labor Standards Act established the minimum wage and maximum hours for workers in industries engaged in interstate commerce, as well as rules for overtime pay; it also outlawed child labor.
B) Angie knows that the Landrum-Griffin Act forced unions to reveal their election procedures to promote honesty, provided a bill of rights for union members, and required unions to file financial disclosure statements with the U.S. secretary of labor.
C) Angie knows that the Taft-Hartley Act defined certain union practices as unfair and illegal. These include coercing employees to join unions, discriminating against nonunion employees, practicing secondary boycotts or strikes for illegal purposes, featherbedding (requiring extra workers solely to provide more jobs), having closed-shop agreements (hiring only workers already in a union), and requiring employees to pay fees even if they refused to join a union.
D) Angie knows that the Wagner Act gave workers the right to form unions, to bargain collectively, and to engage in such union activities as strikes, picketing, and boycotts.
E) Angie knows that the Norris-LaGuardia Act limited courts in issuing injunctions against nonviolent union activities, such as strikes, and outlawed yellow-dog contracts, contracts imposed by employers requiring employees not to join a union.

ANSWER

Answer: E
Explanation: E) Passed in 1932, the landmark Norris-LaGuardia Act did two things: (1) it limited courts in issuing injunctions against nonviolent union activities, such as strikes, and (2) it outlawed yellow-dog contracts, contracts imposed by employers requiring employees not to join a union.
