Prior to 1935. there was little if any federal worker protection laws. Out of that grew the demand for organization and ultimately unions. and out of that came the Wagner Act. Since then have come the following: OSHA. the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. the National Labor Relations Board. the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. a new minimum wage. recently raised on the signature of the President here. the adverse effect wage rate. to protect those who come to this country and work as immigrants. to ensure they are not taken advantage of. workers compensation. a universal Plan to make sure that workers in highrisk jobs have compensation for injuries they incur in the workplace. not to mention the Mine Safety & Health Administration. the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. and literally hundreds of agencies in the American Government today. created since 1935. for the protection of workers. Those all came about because workers deserved that protection in terms of their health. their safety. their compensation. and other benefits that arise. Now. why did those laws come to pass?
