Roosevelt averts automobile strike with new industry compact
After weeks of tense talks, President Roosevelt brokered a labor management agreement in the automobile sector. It creates representation for all employees, guards unions from intimidation, and envisions a works council system. A three member NRA board will handle representation disputes in Detroit.
