The centerpiece of early New Deal legislation was the National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933 (later voided by the Supreme Court). Under this legislation, businesses were placed into cartel-like structures, seen as instruments of economic planning. Codes of good conduct were to guide business operations. The codes included a general right to collective bargaining that were later formalized in the Wagner Act of 1935. Cooperating firms could display the "Blue Eagle." This video clip from a Hollywood musical makes the message clear to audiences of the time: flag-Roosevelt-eagle.
