The Clayton Anti-Trust Act was more pro-labor than the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, and was in fact the first federal law to exempt labor unions from anti-trust prosecution. It also outlawed price discrimination and made it easier to hold corporate officials responsible for violations. Though some labor union leaders still opposed it, the act was generally seen as a win for workers' rights.
