2. "Long ago we stated the reason for labor organizations. We said that they were organized out of the necessities of the situation; that a single employee was helpless in dealing with an employer; that he was dependent ordinarily on his daily wage for the maintenance of himself and his family; that if the employer refused to pay him the wages that he thought fair, he was nevertheless unable to leave the employer and resist arbitrary and unfair treatment; that a union was essential to give laborers opportunity to deal on an equality with their employer." This statement was made by Chief Justice Charles Hughes, of the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of United States v. Jones and Laughlin, 1937. Evaluate Chief Justice Hughes' propositions for their meaning.
