Abstrakt:	The Labor Management Reporting and Disclosures Act or Landrum-Griffin Act of 1959, was passed in response to Congressional investigations in 1957-9 into union corruption and abuse of power. Leaders of some unions were discovered to be abusing their positions so that members did not have effective control over their unions. Congress's strategy was to make unions more democratic and to protect individual rights, so that members would be able to correct the problems that had been identified. This was a further intervention by government into labor-management relations through the regulation of the internal affairs of unions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
