The Fair Labor Standards Act was enacted in 1938 and established the federal minimum wage and also requires employers to pay overtime to nonexempt employees who work more than 40 hours in a workweek. ERISA is the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, which regulates employee benefit plans. The Wagner Act, also known as the National Labor Relations Act, protects workers' rights to organize and bargain collectively. The Taft-Hartley Act amended the Wagner Act and placed more restrictions on labor unions. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination in employment based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
