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.
