1932 › Herbert Hoover (Republican) › Right to organize and bargain collectively
Collective bargaining by representatives of the employees' own choice, 'without the interference of any one'
pledge_forwarddirectional_stanceparty_platformevidence A Labor & Employment similar solutions · similar reasoning
Solution
Recognize and approve collective bargaining between responsible representatives of employers and employees chosen without interference; continue Republican-origin labor laws (eight-hour law on government work, mediation, railroad safety).
Rationale
Republican labor legislation 'have had and will continue to have the unswerving support of the party.'
Language close to the Norris-La Guardia Act of March 1932, which Hoover signed.
Statements (1)
Collective bargaining by responsible representatives of employers and employees of their own choice, without the interference of any one, is recognized and approved.
Follow-through
not_applicable
Hoover lost the election; the pledge could not be tested in office. NIRA Section 7(a) and the Wagner Act (1935) made the right to bargain collectively federal law with enforcement machinery.
