The correct response is: The suspension exposed workers to potentially unfair agreements.

The National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA) aimed to stimulate economic recovery during the Great Depression by suspending antitrust laws, which allowed businesses to collaborate in ways that could undermine competition. This often led to situations where workers faced disadvantageous conditions or agreements, thereby undermining the strength and influence of unions and collective bargaining efforts.
