Digitized from Box 13 of the White House Press Releases at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library
EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE
JULY 2, 1975
UNTIL 6:00 P.M. (EDT)
July 4, 1975
Office of the White House Press Secretary
THE WHITE HOUSE
STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT
Today marks the 40th anniversary of the National Labor Relations
Act, acclaimed as labor's "Bill of Rights."
This landmark Act of Congress helped pave the way for millions of
American workers to share more fully in the fruits of their own labor,
and to unite with one another in the strong bond of common interest and
purpose. It provided the basis for the resolution of disputes over
union organization and the means for settling union-management
disputes.
Since the passage of this law on July 5, 1935, our Nation has moved
from confrontation to cooperation between management and labor,
and from protracted unrest to effective partnership. This partnership
has fostered great economic strength and progress which is unique
among nations of the world.
For American workers: better pay, job security, pensions and
a system for the orderly resolution of day-to-day disputes have been
the legacy of the National Labor Relations Act and its collective
bargaining guarantees. For management: a more certain and stable
industrial relations era.
On this special day, I salute the working men and women of America
for the outstanding contributions they have made and will continue
to make through honest, productive and fairly-rewarded labor.
