19. The only reason OSHA was passed was thanks to a strong AFL-CIO lobby

Look through my labor history posts in the Labor Forum. It is in there. Or a strike by rail clerks to end the 18 hour day. After the SCOTUS upheld child labor, the labor lobby ended it. Minimum wage. Guess who. Labor and the socialist party. Same thing on work comp. Then there is the pay scale and benefits like a union shop, to keep unions out effect. These off the top of my head. Long day with lots of posts.

I got to hear this. What improvements in general were freely given to workers by corporations etc?
