The National Labor Relations Act of 1935, also known as the Wagner Act, primarily sets the ground rules for the relationship between labor unions and corporate managers. It established the legal right for workers to join unions, engage in collective bargaining, and take collective action including strikes. The other options refer to different pieces of legislation: B refers to the Social Security Act (1935), C could be associated with various government contracting regulations but not specifically the National Labor Relations Act, and D refers to the Fair Labor Standards Act (1938).
