On this day in 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the National Labor Relations Act into law, protecting the rights of private sector workers to form unions, bargain collectively, and take collective action. Also known as the Wagner Act, it laid the foundation for modern labor law and created the National Labor Relations Board to enforce these rights.

Now, as these basic rights are under attack, we cannot go back in time ✊. We must fight to protect these hard-won protections that all workers need for decades to come.
