National Industrial Relations Act

The National Industrial Relations Act is a U.S. law established in 1935 that protects workers' rights to join unions and engage in collective bargaining. It aims to ensure fair labor practices by regulating the relationship between employees, employers, and unions. The Act created the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to oversee these rights, investigate violations, and promote harmonious labor relations. By supporting workers' ability to organize, the Act seeks to balance power dynamics in the workplace, fostering better working conditions and fair wages.
