The Wagner Act of 1935

 

In this regard, the National Industrial Recovery Act was introduced as a guiding principle to bring organization, labor as well as consumers together in order to put in place sound industrial codes. These were vital in producing goods at fair price, under fair working conditions, thus resulting in fair profit. .
             The Purpose for Its Creation.
             In many ways, the Act was set up due to the need as well as the requirements for new foundations of power, including nascent forms of involvement in the political dimension and corroboration of the industrial life. Additionally, the Act asserts that people are the key to industry and must consequently be granted due recognition and respect. Another reason that necessitated the establishment of the Act is the fact that it was vital for the labor sector to have boundaries that control the behavior of the employers and employees alike. Prior to the establishment of the Act, relations between the employers and the employees were not only uncertain, but also confrontational. It is for this particular reason that the Act was established. This has been instrumental in defining as well as prohibiting unfair labor practices. One of the unfair labor practices that the Act prohibits involves employers interfering with, restraining, or coercing employees even as they exercise their rights (Bain, 2011). This includes the right to organize and take part in the labor organizations, as well as to collectively negotiate for wages or improved working conditions. .
             Additionally, the Act prohibits employers from being in charge of or meddling with the formation or management of labor organizations. The Act is also instrumental in cautioning employers against discriminating against employees to discourage or encourage support for a particular labor organization. In this regard, an employee is at liberty to join any kind of labor organization he/she so wishes, without any form of intimidation or coercion.
