Labor gained much during the Depression, in part from FDR finally giving his backing to the development and existing unions, in return for campaign donations. The National Industrial Recovery Act provided for collective bargaining. The Wagner Act (National Labor Relations Act) made business bargain in good faith with any union supported by a majority of workers in that business. The Congress of Industrial Organizations split from the American Federation of Labor and became much more aggressive in the organization of unskilled workers. Strikes became legal and an important tool of the CIO.

The Department of Labor is responsible for the management of labor relations laws. The department enforces labor laws enacted by Congress.
National Labor Relations (Wagner) Act increased the rights of unions and created the National Labor Relations Board. Employers had to recognize and work with Unions that claimed the support of a majority of workers in that company. The National Labor Relations Board was set up to investigate unfair practices against labor and protected the right of workers to organize and join unions. The Taft-Hartley Labor Act was amended to enlarge the powers of the NLRB and allowed the government to intervene in strikes affecting the nation's safety or health.
Its creation in 1935 by Congress was in response to the National Labor Relations Act (the Wagner Act). Later acts, such as the Taft-Hartley Act, have amended the original NLRB.
The National Industrial Recovery Act created the National Labor Relations board. The Act went into effect in 1933 and was a part of President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal program.
The board oversees union elections and guards against unfair labor practices.

Did the national labor relations act guarentee government support for organized labor?
Labor relations specialists serve as a link between employees and management. Labor relations is a specialized area of personnel work, sometimes referred to as "industrial relations." In most cases, labor relations specialists work for unionized companies or government agencies. The goal of these specialists is to keep their company's or agency's labor force as satisfied and productive as possible. Some labor relations specialists are employed by government agencies that deal with labor laws or do research on subjects related to labor relations. Others work for national unions, serve as independent consultants, or teach labor relations in colleges or universities. Teachers in such fields as labor or industrial relations, economics, or law often serve as consultants.
National Mediation Board was created in 1934.
Three parts of the National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA) were the National Recovery Administration (NRA), which aimed to regulate industry practices, the Public Works Administration (PWA), which sought to create jobs through infrastructure projects, and the National Labor Board, which was established to address labor disputes.
