Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Norris-La Guardia Act, passed in 1932, limited the power of federal courts to issue injunctions against nonviolent labor disputes such as strikes, pickets, and boycotts. It was the first major pro-labor legislation in the 1930s and paved the way for the National Labor Relations Act (Wagner Act) of 1935. The Taft-Hartley Act, Landrum-Griffin Act, and Magna Carta are not related to the issue of labor disputes and injunctions.
