Railroad Labor Act
It is hard to solve labor disputes individually. Most workers love to work as a group to communicate their grievances to their employers to find a solution. After several disputes had arisen in the United States in the early 20th century, most workers sought out the ways of solving their issues (Ellinwood, n.d.). An act of parliament was passed to create a law that gave power to people to form groups and other labor unions to solve their working complaints whenever they felt it was unfair (Ellinwood, n.d.). Here is a look at the Railway Labor laws formed for the benefit of the right if most people in the rail and transport sectors.

In exercising the smooth relationship between the employers and employees, the employers had the right to join a labor union that acted as the negotiator between the two parties: employee and employers. These labor unions had roles defined for them to work on.

Before the law, it is hard to solve cases, resulting into bosses forcing the employees to work or the workers boycotting duties. In such circumstances, dependents of the transport systems suffered. These issues were worth solving to end the scuffle at workplaces. Additionally, both the employers and the Labor Unions had to find prompt and orderly conflict settlements to the chaos at work (U. S Department of Transportation, 2017). Some of the problems they could address included salaries, conditions of the working environment, rules at the working place, dismissals among others.
