Mythologies of Worker Rights
By Michael E. Tigar, Esq.
April 2020
The author examines myths perpetrated throughout history on workers’ rights in the U.S.; for example, the myth that U.S. workers can freely bargain for their wages. He points out that whatever right workers have had to withhold consent to low wages, it has been an individual right. When workers unite to attempt to increase their bargaining power, they are called conspirators.
