The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) was enacted in 1935. This was a law that was supposed the rights of the workers and employers to embolden collective bargaining. Additionally, this law was meant to limit certain practices from the private sector that can cause harm to the welfare of the employees, businesses and the overall economy of the United States.

Give a brief overview of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
