The National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA) and its implementation through the National Recovery Administration (NRA) aimed to promote fair labor practices and support workers' rights to organize. One of the key policies established by these agencies was the recognition of the right to collective bargaining, allowing unions to negotiate wages and working conditions on behalf of their members. The NIRA also encouraged the formation of labor unions and aimed to reduce labor disputes through cooperative agreements between employers and employees. Overall, it sought to ensure that labor unions played a significant role in protecting workers' rights during the economic challenges of the Great Depression.
