Why did Lochner v. New York represent a setback for progressives and labor advocates?
Lochner v. New York, 198 US 45 (1905)Lochner undermined the ability of states to regulate the abuses of industry, leaving workers at a disadvantage relative to their employment conditions. While the decision in Lochnerwas written to appear beneficial to the working class, ostensibly by upholding workers' "liberty interest" to freely contract with employers under the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process Clause (using the doctrine of substantive due process), in reality, the decision gave employers tacit permission to continue labor abuses.The case set a precedent encouraging the Court to overturn minimum wage laws and class protection for women (with the exception of Louis Brandeis' victory in Muller v. Oregon,(1908)). With neither government regulation, nor substantial labor organization available to them, workers lacked the power to negotiate individual contracts. Instead of protecting individual rights, the Supreme Court legally sanctioned exploitation.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
What was the Lochner era?
The Lochner era, named for the landmark US Supreme Court case Lochner v. New York, 198 US 45 (1905) is a period in American history that roughly corresponds to the second industrial revolution and the Great Depression (1897-1937), and is marked by Court decisions that favored corporations over labor.Most of the cases (including Lochner) dealt with regulation of work hours and minimum wage legislation, both of which were ruled unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process Clause, as interfering the worker's liberty right to contract independently with the employer. The Court also considered government labor regulations "unreasonable, unnecessary and arbitrary interference with the right and liberty of the individual to contract," and that minimum wage laws, "artificially [restrict] the employer's side of the negotiation."The Lochner era came to a close when the Court finally upheld the constitutionality of a Washington State minimum wage law in West Coast Hotel v. Parrish, 300 US 379 (1939).For more information, see Related Questions, below.

What was the issue addressed in Lochner v. New York?
Lochner addressed the constitutionality of State labor laws, specifically the right of New York State to pass legislation setting the maximum number of work hours permitted bakers to 10 hours per day, or 60 hours per week. The Court held that the State had no legitimate interest in protecting the health of this class of worker because there were no substantial risks involved, and that the legislature had exceeded its authority under the state's police powers.According to the Court, the restrictions were unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process Clause because they violated the workers' liberty interest in freely contracting with the employer. While presented as a protection of the working class, Lochner-era decisions almost invariably favored industry over labor.Case Citation:Lochner v. New York, 198 US 45 (1905)For more information, see Related Questions, below.
