Labor Unions

The government executed George Engel, Albert Parsons, August Spies and Adolph Fischer for Conspiracy in that event but admit that they do not know the identity of the bomber himself. There is a long list of possible suspects, all of which are long dead and gone. Eight Police Officers and an unknown number of civilians were killed and someone had to hang. That was simply how Chicago was in 1888.

FDR's administration was beneficial for organized labor. FDR needed the support of labor, and labor needed the support of the national government. Francis Perkins, the first women cabinet member, was appointed as Secretary of Labor and she successfully promoted many elements that became part of the New Deal and helpful to labor. She and FDR urged the passage of the National Labor Relations (Wagner) Act which increased the rights of unions and created the National Labor Relations Board. The Taft-Hartley Labor Act was amended to enlarge the powers of the NLRB and allowed the government to intervene in strikes affecting the nation's safety or health. The NRA set minimum wages and maximum hours. It did away with child labor, something organized labor favored, and established the right of workers to organize. This allowed for collective bargaining. Secretary Perkins had the DOL draft a bill setting wage and hour standards that became effective even after the NRA was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. In 1938 the Fair Labor Standards Act was passed which set minimum wages and a maximum work week of 40 hours.

Organized labor grew, the CIO split from the AFL and many American workers joined unions and membership continued to increase during the Great Depression.

For the most part it does not. Most unions have wages above minimum wage. Depending on members wages, the type of job each member has, and the amount of the minimum wage increase, it may make it easier for a union to push for higher wages.

United Autoworkers, Steelworkers, Teamsters.

The correct answer is the service industry. An increase in the service industry created a decline in labor union membership.

The Soviet style of collective management in manufacturing gave the unions a certain degree of power, although limited, in the administration of manufacturing. The so-called "triangle" consisted of the plant manager, the workers' union and the communist party cell within this system. This lasted well into the 1930's. The problems this created was evident when the unions and plant managers had to contend with the Communist Party cell that each factory had. Three way decision makers were not the best way to make important decisions and political internal problems caused by the Party's presence caused fear to develop.

It is known as "picketing"

Poor,hazardous and overbearing.

Why don't more firms use lockouts to break impasses?

I don't know if this is exactly what you mean but a fellow worker who crosses a picket line in an industrial dispute is conmmonly referred to as a scab.
