As a new graduate, you have interviewed at several hospitals for your first nursing position. One of the hospital recruiters informs you that the nursing union has created turmoil for the hospital
The recruiter also tells you that if you choose this hospital, you will have to sign a contract stating that you will not join the nursing union. You recognize that requiring you to sign such a contract would be in direct violation of which of the following? a. 1898 Erdman Act
b. 1935 National Labor Relations Act (Wagner Act)
c. 1938 Fair Labor Standards Act
d. 1947 Taft-Hartley Act
A
The 1898 Erdman Act was the first piece of legislation to outlaw discriminatory acts by employers
against unions. By refusing to allow all new employees to join the nursing union, the hospital is
interfering with the union's membership and the union's ability to represent all nurses employed by
the facility. The 1935 National Labor Relations Act (Wagner Act) allowed employees of private
companies to organize unions to demand better wages and safer working conditions, and the 1938 Fair
Labor Standards Act set minimum wage and maximum hours that can be paid before overtime is paid.
The 1947 Taft-Hartley Act returned some rights to management but still equalized the balance between
unions and management.
