Francis Perkins, the first women cabinet member, was appointed as Secretary of Labor and she successfully promoted many elements that became part of the New Deal and helpful to labor. She and FDR urged the passage of the National Labor Relations (Wagner) Act which increased the rights of unions and created the National Labor Relations Board. Employers were required to recognize and negotiate with Labor Unions. A National Labor Relations Board was set up to investigate unfair labor practices and to issue cease and desist orders to employers found responsible for them. Unions had the right to represent workers who voted for the unions in NLRB supervised elections.

∙ 13y agoThe Wagner Act (The National Labor Relations Act of 1935) was created to protect workers' right to unionize. The National Labor Relations Board was created to enforce the NLRA and conduct secret ballot elections to determine if employees want to be represented by a union. It also investigates unfair practices by employers and unions. The act guarantees the worker his/her right to organize and bargain collectively with employers.
The Act and the NLRB protect the rights of workers.
