Labor Legislation
This book provides a look at the hardships of American labor and how immigrants working for low pay and in hazardous conditions reaped few benefits. The labor movement found a champion in President Roosevelt, who paved the way for significant government regulation of American industry. Through manageable text enhanced by period illustrations, Labor Legislation documents the moments that led to labor laws and the implementation of major reforms for workers.

Book Review--"Highly Recommended. Good for report research. This is a primary source document that would greatly serve in the understanding of the new laws concerning working conditions and the unions in America during the early 1900s. The format is most pleasing. An excellent glossary is included."
