The purpose of the Wagner Act in 1935 was to give workers the right to form unions.
The National Labor Relations Act, also called the Wagner Act, was a federal law of the United States issued in July 1935 to limit employers' reactions to workers who founded unions, collectively offered their services, joined strikes, or performed similar acts of defense of their rights in concerted form, whether forming a union or without it. This Law was not applicable to workers subject to special regimes: railway workers, agricultural workers, domestic workers, independent contractors, or workers of the federal or state government, as these workers had their own rules.
