People may think this Act is unimportant and useless towards the American citizens. However, those people should reconsider. Many don't realize the hardships and pains when the workers work in factories and companies. People should know and understand their problem and how the Wagner Act is helping these poor little people. They should understand what the government is trying to do in order to help the people in need.

What is the Problem?

- The Wagner Act was made because of unequal distribution of wealth

- Factors that lead to the problem of uneven distribution of wealth is low wages from the bosses, making the workers have little to no money and the failure of government program "trickle-down" economics

- Uneven distribution of wealth happened in both the industry and in agriculture

Does the program still exist?

-Even when the Wagner Act was took down, another version of the program still exists

- The NLRB helps people who are unemployed they supply them with things they need

- Today, it is called the National Labor Relations Act

- The need of the act happened when people needed money to live, and when they work, people were treated unfairly

People in need to a job and money

What is the Wagner Act?

- An organization that gives workers rights, like protesting against the company and form unions.

- They aim to solve the problems by letting the workers protest for better wages and conditions

- To make it work, the federal government is letting them solve their own government problems, by letting them form unions and let them go against their bosses.
