Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes a range of federal safety appliance and hours of service acts that were enacted in the United States with the primary purpose of protecting workers in this sector throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author provides an overview of each act, and in doing so, also provides insights into the legal and practical realities of dangerous working conditions in the railroad industry during the period and how workers attempted to improve their safety. The author traces the development of this railroad legislation from its beginnings, and discusses the political and social forces that shaped both the initial acts and their later amendments. The book goes beyond legal analysis to also explore the significant role that labor unions played in the development of these landmark acts.
