Collective Bargaining

Labor Strikes *Homestead Steel Strike *Pullman Strike *Higher intervention needed? Hey, where is our government!?

Civil Service Reform *No more spoils system! (Merit not who you know!

Sherman-Anti Trust Act (1890) *U.S. federal law that forbade any organizations that interfered with free trade by prohibiting monopolies or any activity that hindered business competition *What about the free-enterprise system?

Interstate Commerce Act (1887) * U.S. federal law that was designed to regulate the railroad industry which required railroad rates to be “reasonable and just” *Not very successful (lacked resources + appointed pro-railroad commissioners)

Pendleton Act (1883) *U.S. federal law requiring federal jobs to be awarded on the basis of merit rather than the spoils system *Competitive exams for gov. jobs rather than ties to politicians or political affiliation *Illegal to fire or demote gov. official for political reasons
