Abstract
The most important fight to bring independent unionism to American broadcasting stations emerged during the American Federation of Labor (AFL) vs. Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) battle for supremacy in 1937. U.S. radio technicians gained collective bargaining contracts first through management-dominated professional associations (company unions), and later in independent labor organizations such as NABET, the IBEW, IATSE, and the ACA. The important work of these labor organizations would not have been realized had it not been for two key New Deal labor reforms: the National Industrial Recovery Act and the Wagner Act in 1933 and 1935, respectively.
