WPA. 1933. Works Progress Administration. later becames Works Progress Administration.
FSLA...missed what that stood for. led to modern child labor laws, minimum wage, etc. time-and-a-half, aka, getting paid more for your overtime. fair labor standards act. thats it.
wrongly interpreted political cartoons.....correctly interpreted, american tax-payers hold up the government, says the WPA is a burden to the tax-payers.
NYA - something about youth - exchanged grants with high school and college studends, giving them money for their educational and then jobs afterwards in order to equip them with marketable skills for the future. was on a local bases. was successful, but was disbanded in 1943.
National Labor Relations Act/Board - NLRB - encouraged a healthy relationship between private-sector workers and their employers. tired to stop strikes, work stoppages, and general labor problems. still around today, had some success.
EBRA - Emergency Banking Relief Act - said that any bank without enough funds to support their clients had to shut down. only federal inspecters could go in and inspect and decide if the bank could stay open. allowed Secretary of Treasury to take gold from people and reimburse them in paper money. so people could give gold, get cash. bill was passed quickly, so no time to really read it over. many were actually agaisnt it. it left only 5000 banks open after the National Bank Holiday, the short time period all banks took off so inspectors could come in.
SSA - Social Secerutiy Administration - designed to create income for workers 65 and up, because the depression caused a need for old age pensions. these were coordinated by Francis Townstead. Roosevelt Admin responded to his pensions with the SSA. old age pensions funded by payroll taxes. SSa had been amended and added to- disability insurance, early retirement for men and women at 62, payroll rose to 6%., Medicare Act too.
