Summary:

Like many industrialized nations, the United States uses several different strategies to protect workers. One way to establish workplace standards is by enacting statutes that directly set the terms and conditions of employment and rely on agencies and the courts for enforcement. Another strategy is to encourage the direct resolution of workplace problems by the parties themselves, rather than through judicial or regulatory recourse. The first volume of this report examines the major statutes comprising the framework of federal regulations and describes the actual work experiences of employers and unions operating under that framework. The second volume identifies various characteristics of the 26 statutes and one executive order comprising the framework of federal regulations on the workplace and briefly summarizes the statutes and the executive order, scope of coverage, nature of penalties, reporting and disclosure requirements of each executive order, and enforcement.
