The National Labor Relations Act has been criticized as an outdated piece of legislation that is hindering, rather than helping, America cope with the realities of the new global marketplace. Describe how work has changed since the NLRA was passed and discuss how these changes might conflict with the protections provided in the NLRA.
Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).
When the NLRA was passed, the U.S. economy was dominated by mass manufacturing companies where there were clear distinctions between manual labor and managerial labor. These clear distinctions made it easier to define who was considered a "worker" and who was considered a "manager". Further, America dominated the global market which allowed employers to pass some of the cost of wages and improved working conditions onto consumers. Today, the workforce is increasingly service-oriented with blurred lines of distinction between the "worker" and the "manager". Many jobs may include some component of what would historically have been considered supervisory work (e.g., quality control, scheduling authority, decision-making authority). Further, increased global competition has made it more important that U.S. companies be flexible and able to adapt to a changing competitive market in ways that are difficult under the NLRA.
