In 3–5 sentences, describe the policies of the National Industrial Recovery Act or the National Recovery Administration concerning unions.

Answer 1

The National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA) was implemented during the Great Depression in the United States to revive the failing economy. The act established the National Recovery Administration (NRA) to oversee the recovery efforts. The NRA strongly supported the rights of workers to organize and join unions. It encouraged collective bargaining and provided specific guidelines for fair labor standards and wages. The act aimed to balance the power dynamics between employers and workers, leading to better conditions and increased unionization.
