Answer to Question 1

If there is imminent danger to the safety or health of employees then an Occupational Safety and Health Administration inspector notifies the United States Secretary of Labor and if the danger is not eliminated then the Secretary of Labor could seek a temporary injunction to close down the part of a job site where a danger exists.

Answer to Question 2

The Landrum-Grifflin Act gave labor relations agencies and courts jurisdiction over labor disputes that are not heard by the National Labor Relations Board.
