The National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA), established in 1933, aimed to boost industrial recovery and improve labor conditions during the Great Depression. One of its key provisions was the recognition of the right of workers to organize and bargain collectively through unions, effectively supporting labor rights. The National Recovery Administration (NRA), which was part of NIRA, encouraged fair labor standards and the establishment of minimum wages and maximum working hours, bolstering union power and influence in the workforce. However, the NRA faced challenges regarding enforcement and was ultimately declared unconstitutional in 1935, which led to a decline in the effectiveness of its pro-union policies.
