In 1935, the Wagner Act was passed, where workers had rights; to collectively bargain for better pay, working conditions, to join a union, etc. It also protects employees from being penalized by unionized organizations, if they refused to join one. In the absence of federal labor law, workers would have fewer rights and probably have worse working conditions. The relations between employees and employers would not be as how it is today; it would most likely be as it was in the 18th and early 19th century; where workers had little rights in the workplace. Working conditions would be poor, with employees working in an unhealthy or dangerous environment. There would be no such thing as benefits (maternal leaves, vacation, retirement plans, etc.).
