This bill created a new independent agency of unelected administrators to the NIRA. The members were appointed by the President and subsequently confirmed by the Senate. These unelected members had the ability to impose and enforce a new plethora of government regulation on labor. The act also would use a government body to help address disputes between unions and members of the private sector. The Wagner Act outline what was to be considered “fair” and “unfair” business practices, while setting standards for hours and wages. FDR essentially extended congressional powers to an executive agency in order to protect the integrity of American democracy. This unconstitutional measure, is quite questionable, but again, looking back to TR’s record with collective bargaining and business, we can see that these progressive policies transcends these two
