The correct answer is: The suspension exposed workers to potentially unfair agreements.
The National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA) aimed to promote industrial growth and recovery during the Great Depression and included provisions that encouraged collective bargaining. However, the suspension of antitrust laws meant that businesses could engage in practices that might undermine fair negotiations, potentially leading to unfair agreements for workers.
