The National Labor Relations Act is a federal law that grants employees the right to form or join unions, engage in protected, concerted activities to address or improve working conditions or refrain from engaging in these activities. This act was passed on July 5, 1935. The idea behind the act was at that time was to protect employees from big manufacturers who demanded impossible hour and extremely low pay.

they are protected and not over worked. These workers need more protection than most industries so they are not taken advantage of. Walmart’s approach to how they feel about unions and how their managers treated employees with threats and disciple action during the California workers protests in order to try and form a union was way out of line. The National Labor Relations Act prohibits employers for doing exactly what Walmart did in this situation by punishing employees for supporting and…

minority applicant's score in its rating system. Harvard University has an "unofficial lift" scheme, which also targets minority applicants (Qiang, 2006).

Even after all these years since it has been first introduced affirmative action is still a strongly debated topic. In this discussion, I am going to…

Strikes in the steel industry were commonplace as conflict over wages and working conditions became paramount under rapid growth. The violent Homestead strike of 1892 in Pennsylvania turned into a complex battlefield with Andrew Carnegie using scab African American labor to crush the largest craft union, the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers. In 1919 steel workers fought U.S. Steel and the movement was labeled a “Red Scare,” unleashing an anti-Bolshevik and anti-radical hysteria.…

2B. The H-2A visa allows workers to come over to work while receiving the promised hours up to three-quarters with free living and food and protection federally. The H-2B visa is the opposite; it allows the worker to come over and work, but takes away all of the protection, secure hours and living space (Reese, 2014). The government is assisting in these workers being pushed into forced labor and leaving them with no protection (Reese, 2014). It allows workers to come to the United States under…

Lead Identification (LO): Lead compounds bind to target receptors, and shows potentially therapeutic pharmacological activity, and may contain similar structures and functional groups. Lead compounds are used as a foundation for drug development and may be modified structurally for greater pharmacodynamic efficiency and potency.1 One source of determining lead compounds is by assaying libraries through HTS. Researchers analyze the drug’s ADME properties (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and…
