The other answer choices are incorrect. A is incorrect because the Wagner Act does not allow right-to-work laws, which ban mandatory union membership as a condition of employment. B is incorrect because agency shops, union shops, and maintenance of membership are legal under the Wagner Act. C is incorrect because the Wagner Act does not prohibit employees from going on strike. D is incorrect because the establishment of an eight-hour workday and overtime pay was regulated by the Fair Labor Standards Act, not the Wagner Act.
