One policy that was continued from the Progressive Era to the New Deal Era was the protection of workers. In the Progressive Era, the National Child Labor Committee was chartered. This government agency investigated potential abuse of child labor and poor working conditions. This agency had the authority to punish businesses who broke certain working laws/standards.

During the New Deal Era (under President Franklin Roosevelt), the Fair Labor Standards Act set a minimum wage and a maximum amount of hours an individual could work in a week. Both of these acts by the federal government were created in hopes to protect workers from potential abuse from their respective bosses.

Q: why do you think the cuban government requires non-cuban businesses to hire and pay workers only through the government

zhannawk [14.2K]

The Cuban 'Código de Trabajo' is the current law which since 2014 regulates how foreign businesses can hire Cuban staff.

In very exceptional cases, firms can hire workers directly but, in general, it has be done through public agencies known as 'hiring entities'. In fact, workers are employed by these entities, and not by the foreign enterprises. Wages are paid by foreign companies in CUCs (Cuban convertible currency) together with a compensation called heberes. Then, the hiring entities pay the haberes to the employees in the Cuban local peso currency (CUPs).

Hence, hiring entities is a large source of funding for the Cuban goverment, as they receive full 'Western' wages, but only transfer the quantity called haberes to the employees, which is in line with the Cuban wage level. So they earn the difference as an income tax. Also, the public sector is able to control the population occupations in great detail through those agencies.
