American federal acts on work and unions: the National Labor Relations Act that protected collective bargaining, the Taft-Hartley Act that limited it and the Fair Labor Standards Act on wages and hours. A statute belongs here when its cited article describes an American act on labour relations or the terms of work. It excludes acts of other countries. The Fair Labor Standards Act is admitted here although it concerns wages, because the articles place it with the New Deal labour statutes.
