Question

What are two things the Wagner Act accomplished during the Great Depression? Select all that apply.

Answer 1

The correct answers are: 1. established the right of workers to join unions and 4. provided the right to engage in collective bargaining.

The Wagner Act, also known as The National Labor Relations Act of 1935, was made with the purpose of balancing the relationship between employees and employers, because there was an inequality of bargaining power and the employees don’t have freedom of association. The Act says explicitly that employees have the right to join a trade union and engage in collective bargaining.

Answer 2

The Wagner Act gave the established right to engage in collective bargaining.
It also gave blacks and women the right to work.
