The NLRA has upheld unionism throughout the U.S. for 74 years. It has also helped us through our depression by helping our people get better wages.
Though there are it's problems such as the NLRB cannot send union advocates into the workspace b/c employers won't allow them on the premisiss. plus the employers have found loop holes that will let them discrimante and threaten their workers preventing the workers from forming these unions

2 Advantages: 1. The Wagner Act, also known as the National Labor Relations Act of 1935 (29 U.S.C.A. § 151 et seq.), is the most important piece of labor legislation enacted in U.S. history. It made the federal government the arbiter of employer-employee relations through the creation of the national labor relations board (NLRB) and recognized for the first time the right of workers to organize and bargain collectively with their employers. The act overturned decades of court decisions that asserted that labor unions violated an employee's liberty of contract. http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/National+Labor+Relations+Act
2. The Wagner Act established the rights of employees to organize, join, or aid labor unions and to participate in collective bargaining through their representatives. The act also authorized unions to take "concerted action" for these purposes. This meant that workers could lawfully strike and take other peaceful action as a way of placing pressure on an employer. This provision was coupled with another that prohibited employers from engaging in unfair labor practices that interfere with the union rights of employees. Unfair labor practices include prohibiting employees from joining unions, firing employees because of their union membership, or establishing a company-dominated union. In addition to requiring employers to bargain col lectively with the union duly selected by the employees, the act set up procedures for establishing appropriate bargaining units (homoge neous groups of employees) where employees can elect a bargaining agent (a representative for labor negotiations) by a secret ballot.
2 Disadvantages: 1.Under EFCA, if an employer was found by the NLRB to have unlawfully fired pro-union employees, the employer would be liable for three times back pay for those employees. Also, the NLRB could impose a $20,000 penalty for each willful violation by the employer of the prevailing statutes. These penalties are a substantial increase in levies that the NLRM may assess on employers.
2.Under EFCA, within ten days after certification as the exclusive labor union, that union may demand that management begin negotiating a new collective bargaining agreement. If the union and management can't reach terms within 90 days on the first agreement, either side may request federal mediation, which could lead to binding arbitration.
positives: -EFCA leads to better wages and benefits while making unionization the employee’s choice rather than the employer’s (zoufiles) -EFCA is critical to reducing poverty and bringing back the middle class (zoufiles) Negatives EFCA Hurts The Economy (crossfire) EFCA Hurts Small Businesses (crossfire) EFCA Will Deepen The Recession (crossfire) NFCA Will Increase Unemployment (crossfire)

The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) is the main federal law that governs relations between unions and employers. An independent federal agency, the National Labor Relations Board, was created to oversee the NLRA, which was intended to help curtail strikes and other forms of labor unrest. Among the rights this law guarantees are employees' rights to organize and to bargain as a group with their nongovernment employers.
so two advantages of this national labor relations act was :
1. to cut down, or to minimize, strikes
2. and second was to help employees who were disatisfied with their empolyers and to fix problems and conflicts between them.
and disadvantages were:
1. it puts stress on the employees threatening them if they vote for unions
2. they recieve benefits if they go against unionizing.
3. overall the employees are threatened and could possibly be fired if they go for unions, the employers threaten to close down, and the employees work in stress everyday knowing that every little move is monitored and used as an excuse to get fired for forming part of the union..
prior to 1935 employees could form unions yet employers had the right to blacklist these employees or even fire these employees. The advantages of the NLRA are as follows:
Employees shall have the right to self-organization, to form, join, or assist labor organizations, to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing, and to engage in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid and protection.
The disadvantages of the NLRA are as follows:
Employers are holding their employees jobs just above their heads, saying that if the employees vote for the union then they lose their jobs. With the NLRA employers still have all the power they can still fire employees for forming unions

Unions can be benefial to a certain extent and in some ways help people gain what they deserve, but as I said before unions can only help in some ways not all.

Two Advantages: It guaranteed workers the right to join a union without fear of managment reprisal. Gave workers the choice to decide wether to join a union or not.
Two Disadvantages: The employees were threatend with there job if they voted for unions You receive benefits if you go against unionizing
