In the 1937 case of NLRB v. Jones & Laughlin Steel Corporation, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) and affirmed the National Labor Relations Board's (NLRB) authority to regulate labor relations. The Court ruled that the federal government could intervene in labor disputes affecting interstate commerce, thus protecting workers' rights to organize and engage in collective bargaining. This decision marked a significant expansion of federal power in labor relations and set a precedent for future labor laws.
