National Labor Relations Act of 1935

The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) of 1935 was a pivotal law that empowered employees by granting them the right to unionize and engage in collective bargaining. It established protections for union activities like boycotts and picketing, provided they did not harm the employer's products or services. The NLRA imposed limitations on employers, preventing them from refusing to negotiate with employee-elected representatives or retaliating against unionizing employees. It also created a system for employees to file grievances with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) if employers violated these rights.
