OPA Code of Fair Competition

The OPA Code of Fair Competition was a set of rules created during the 1930s to promote honest and fair business practices. It aimed to prevent unfair monopolies, price fixing, and deceptive advertising, encouraging companies to compete ethically. The code provided guidelines for fair pricing, truthful communication, and respect for workers’ rights, helping restore trust in the marketplace during a time of economic hardship. In essence, it was an early effort to ensure businesses competed fairly, benefiting consumers and the economy.
