The National Labor Relations Act, passed under President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1935, allowed for the following:
1) "The right to bargain as a group"- This concept is known as collective bargaining, as it represents an entire group of individuals within the same company coming together to negotiate for certain conditions/benefits.
2) "The right to form unions"- Before this time, business owners could punish individuals for joining a labor union. However, the national government made this action illegal, giving individuals the freedom to join a union without worrying about repercussions.
3) "The right to go on strike"
In the 1930’s, a huge surge of the blues and jazz erupted from the Harlem Renaissance, bringing these feelings of hopelessness to the forefront. Since people were unable to pay for anything, many were caught on the streets and wandering around as hobos looking for their next meal. Many aspects of the daily life reflected the new poor economy, such as a rise in homelessness, job loss, and overall “Depression”
Industrialization (1800s but not sure if it was late 1800s...):
-economic development- led to more factories & factory workers
-development of railroads (especially railroads that made it easier to move, transported materials & trade) new technologies and innovations like steamships, spinning jenny, cotton gin... etc...
-people in many parts of the world started moving to the US for better opportunities
this led to people from diff parts of the world to migrate to the US (better to write about for late 1800s):
-extreme hardship
-war
-lack of economic opportunities/high unemployment
then theres new places (such as the US) where your overhear about:
-more jobs
-promise of a better life
-freedom to practice ones religion
-an overall better standard of living
In the traumatic aftermath of World War One, many questioned whether man's civilization had revealed a dooming weakness, and if one of its greatest achievements—democracy—was only a fragile ideal. Did the war to make the world "safe for democracy" expose a world unfit for democracy? And what about America? For 130 years the republic had survived chronic growing pains and a murderous civil war, but was it, too, displaying signs of dissolution and rot? Voter apathy, corruption in city politics, the "tyranny of the fifty-one percent," the suppression of black voting in the South—American democracy seemed worn, cracked, and vulnerable.
