OUTLAW STRIKE: An unofficial and usually spontaneous strike or work stoppage by union members. A wildcat strike is not authorized by the labor union representing the workers. Such strikes generally occur because (1) labor has specific problems or concerns that have not been satisfactorily addressed by employers or (2) workers feel that union leaders are not acting in the best interest of the union members. This is also termed an wildcat strike.

Lesson 20: Federal Reserve System | Unit 3: The Fed Pyramid
|
Page: 10 of 20
|
Commercial banks form the base of the Federal Reserve pyramid. Prior to the 1980's: - The Fed automatically included only national banks.
- State and local banks could chose to become members of the Fed.
- S&Ls, credit unions, and mutual savings banks didn't offer checking accounts and were not part of the system.
Legislation passed in the 1980's brought all checkable-deposit-issuing institutions into the Federal Reserve System. - The Federal Reserve pyramid rests on the non-bank public: households, businesses, and government agencies.

AMERICAN ECONOMIC ASSOCIATION A formal organization of professional economists that promotes economic research, organizes annual meetings and conferences, and maintains a list of publications in several economics subjects. The American Economic Association (AEA) was originally organized by a small group interested in economics at a meeting in 1888 in Saratoga, New York. However, as interest in the subject grew, it officially incorporated in 1923. Although the AEA contained only a small number of members in the beginning, today the membership is approximately 18,000. In addition, about 4,600 libraries, institutions, and firms subscribe to the quarterly publications of the AEA.
