The Wagner Act, also known as the National Labor Relations Act, helped the Committee for Industrial Organization (CIO) to mobilize organizing drives in major industries. The CIO was focused on organizing industrial workers, especially those in automobile production, steel, and rubber industries. The American Federation of Labor (AFL) was already established and had been organizing skilled workers for many years prior to the passage of the Wagner Act. The National Labor Union (NLU) was dissolved before the passage of the Wagner Act, and the National Association of Manufacturers Workers is not a union, but rather a group representing management interests.
