Labor Laws in the United States The labor laws enacted in the 1930s resulted in a surge in union membership. After WWII, unions began to take advantage of their new-found strength. In the first six months of 1946, almost 3 million workers went on strike. The strikes created serious disruptions and created a fear of big labor. 8

Union Shops vs. Right-to-Work Laws Twenty-two states have adopted right-to-work laws; declaring union shops illegal. Should employees be required to join unions? What are the arguments against a union shop? Why do critics of right-to-work laws claim they create a “free rider” problem? How has the presence of right-to-work laws affected the decisions of businesses about where to locate plants? 12
