Résumé :

American unions have been experiencing a decline for years. Many reasons can explain this process: repression, ruthless nineteenth-century capitalism and today’s neoliberalism with its succession of relocations. However, American labor laws have constantly eroded the rights of workers. As a result, collective bargaining rights and union membership have been reduced to an unprecedented level. This situation is not only a problem for American unions but also for democracy. This article purports to analyze the various labor laws that have led to such a situation.
