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 labor unions also encouraged the workers to join together, even though they were from different countries and backgrounds and spoke different languages. The unions also used walkouts and boycotts to gain public support and help the public to understand that the workers needed to organize, bargain, and even strike to gain workers' rights. all of the above-apex
