The provisions of the Landrum-Griffin Act of 1959 are known to improve the work conditions of an abundance of people in a considerable way. First of all, it is well-known that, in the field of management and labor, there were numerous problems such as violent behavior of the employers towards their employees, dishonest actions of employers, and so on. The provisions of the Landrum-Griffin Act of 1959 were aimed at the solution of these problems by the control of labor unions.
Moreover, it is noteworthy to admit that the positive effect of the adoption of the Landrum-Griffin Act of 1959 comprised the fact that each labor union member was guaranteed a right to “nominate candidates for union office, vote in union elections or referendums, attend union meetings, and participate in union meetings and vote on union business”. What is more, all members were equal; they were provided an opportunity to express their opinion freely. Another step forward was some profound changes in the election process. The Landrum-Griffin Act of 1959 pointed out that “elections must be by secret ballots”. Local by local reporting was necessary for the voting process of any candidate. The provisions made it possible to carry out the elections in accordance with Constitution and unions laws. Each union member was also guaranteed a right to control the funds in order to prevent high-ranking officials from misusing them. What is more, some kind of protection was provided for every member as a written list of charges became inevitable for being expelled or fired. Communication with any legislator was unlimited after the adoption of the Landrum-Griffin Act of 1959.
In conclusion, it is significant to underscore that the Landrum-Griffin Act of 1959 covered different aspects of labor, but their principal purpose was to improve the labor situation in the country. Unfortunately, it was impossible without making some profound changes in the work of labor unions.
