Short answer: historically, the federal government more often sided with management — but there were important exceptions (notably the New Deal).
Brief summary:
- 19th/early 20th century: federal and state authorities frequently intervened against strikes (e.g., Pullman Strike of 1894), using troops or injunctions to protect property and keep commerce flowing — effectively supporting management.
- 1930s–1940s: a major shift toward labor with New Deal laws (National Labor Relations/Wagner Act, 1935) that protected collective bargaining and created the NLRB.
- Post‑World War II and later: pendulum swung back at times (Taft‑Hartley Act, 1947, restricted unions; Reagan’s firing of PATCO air traffic controllers in 1981 signaled pro‑management policy).
If you mean a particular period or event, tell me which and I’ll answer specifically.
