Wagner Backing Aid for Employers Sparks Senate Hearing
Senator Robert F. Wagner defended the National Labor Relations Act as fair and said he would back, with safeguards, a move allowing employers facing competition between groups to petition for collective bargaining elections. He suggested the NLRB could institute a rule change, or Congress could legislate if hearings show compelling reasons to adjust the act. Wagner, sponsor since 1935, testified as hearings opened on AFL and business groups proposed amendments amid charges of conspiracy by opposing sides.
