The suspension of antitrust laws by the National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA) had a negative impact on unions. It weakened the power of collective bargaining, as businesses were able to set their own minimum wage laws without interference. This made it more difficult for unions to negotiate for better wages and working conditions for their members. Additionally, without antitrust laws in place, workers were exposed to potentially unfair agreements and exploitative labor practices by employers.
