The term "National Labor Relations Act" refers to which of the following?

• A. National Labor Relations Act
• B. Davis-Bacon Act
• C. Wage Garnishment Act
• D. Fair Labor Standards Act

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is identifying the law that specifically protects workers’ rights to organize and bargain collectively. The National Labor Relations Act, enacted in 1935, creates the framework for private-sector labor relations and established the National Labor Relations Board to oversee union organizing, elections, and unfair labor practices. It makes it unlawful for employers to interfere with, restrain, or coerce employees who are exercising their right to join or form a union and to bargain collectively.

This act is not about wage levels or payment rules. Wage-related topics are handled by other laws, such as those setting minimums and overtime, or establishing prevailing wages on federal contracts. So, the term refers to the law that protects the right to organize and bargain collectively and sets up the system to enforce those rights.
