Justice on the Job examines these issues, scrutinizes flaws in the current state of the U.S. In the 79 years since the passage of the NLRA, a variety of social and policy issues have converged to dilute both workers’ opportunities to join unions and the power wielded by existing unions in the United States. The new law represented a sea change for the average worker, who could for the first time exercise power effectively as part of a collective unit rather than remain helpless alone. Under this legislation, workers could bargain together, take collective action, and even strike when necessary to achieve better working conditions. Nearly three decades later, Congress passed the National Labor Relations Act of 1935 (NLRA), guaranteeing workers the opportunity to do something most had never been able to do before-join a union. At that time, the choice for the average low-skilled worker in America was clear: accept work under brutal conditions for little pay or don’t work at all. Sinclair’s work, though fictitious, provided a fairly accurate account of the conditions under which the characters’ real-life counterparts worked. The workers are in a take-it-or-leave-it position, with no feasible means of improving pay or working conditions. At the plant, employees routinely suffer grievous injuries while earning little more than a pittance. The protagonist of the story seeks to provide for his family by accepting work at an unsafe, unsanitary Chicago meatpacking plant. Upton Sinclair’s 1906 novel The Jungle offered a groundbreaking exposition of then-existing harsh and abusive labor conditions routinely imposed on low-skilled workers.
