The man behind this act
Political cartoon
This act is intended for the reform program by F.D.R. because it reforming the government by letting people shape their own jobs by forming unions.
The Wagner act was a good economic decision because it gave the workers a option to take a strike and in some cases it was to get more money
It was another reason we had the great depression because if the workers took strike to get paid more then that's more money coming out of the government
the Wagner act is still in effect today, there has been no changes to it, it is the same as it was in 1935.
