The Federal Act imposing fiduciary responsibilities upon union representatives is:

A)		The Wagner Act.
B)		The Norris-LaGuardia Act.
C)		The Taft-Hartley Act.
D)		The Landrum-Griffin Act.

Answer 1

Option "A" is correct.

The Wagner Act of 1935 greatly increased the authority of the federal government in industrial relations and strengthened the organizing power of labour unions, establishing the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to execute this program.

The Norris-LaGuardia Act outlawed yellow-dog contracts (pledges by workers not to join a labor union) and further restricted the use of court injunctions in labor disputes against strikes, picketing and boycotts.

The Taft-Hartley Act is a 1947 federal law that prohibits certain union practices and requires disclosure of certain financial and political activities by unions.

The Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959, is a US labor law that regulates labor unions' internal affairs and their officials' relationships with employers.
