Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

The Railway Labor Act was a critical win for the management, in that it helped keep trains, and later airlines, from striking - to disrupt travel of citizens. The act was created to keep the trains moving - with a few exceptions, such as safety.

Answer option A is incorrect. The Clayton Act clarified language in the Sherman Antitrust Act, and deemed labor unions and agricultural unions exempt from the Sherman Antitrust Act.

Answer option D is incorrect. The National Industrial Recovery Act guaranteed laborers the right to organize and bargain collectively.

Answer option B is incorrect. The National Labor Relations Act, also known as the Wagner Act, guaranteed the right to self-organization, to form, join, or assist labor organization, to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choice.

I bet it's the Railway Labor Act. Those railway workers are always causing a ruckus, so the government probably wanted to keep them in line. 'Work now, grieve later' sounds like something straight out of the union-busting playbook.

Yeah, I agree. The government probably wanted to make sure they didn't disrupt the railway operations too much.

Oh, the National Industrial Recovery Act! That's the one that was all about getting the economy back on track, so of course they'd want workers to just 'work now, grieve later'. Classic government overreach if you ask me.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. The National Labor Relations Act seems more likely to use that kind of language, but I could be wrong. Gotta brush up on my labor law knowledge.
