		Conditions in the early factories, in particular the ‘move from status to contract’, left individual workers at the mercy of their employers in terms of economic bargaining, and made combined action by workers essential to protect wages and improve conditions.
		Although the Democrat New Deal administration reaffirmed the right of workers to organize freely and bargain collectively, US legislation such as the Taft-Hartley Act (1947), outlawed the closed shop (an agreement between employer and union that only the union's members could be employed), and the Landrum-Griffin Act (1959) outlawed picketing of a related firm's premises.
		By 1999 only a seventh of US workers were union members, and in an effort to attract new members, particularly from the service sector, unions have placed increased emphasis on special benefits they can offer members, such as low-cost credit cards, legal aid, travel discounts, and health- and child-care.
