The FDR admin was pretty helpful. Union membership was declining during the Great Depression until the admin started implementing labor and union-friendly policies. Wouldn't have happened without organization and all that either, of course. Even the NLB under Biden was marginally helpful. I mean, the politicians obviously won't want to overthrow the system or anything like that, and a lot of the reforms could be seen as a way to save capitalism from itself.

It's important to contextualize that the concessions of the FDR period were a response to better working conditions in the soviet union. This was a calculated move not to help workers, but protect capital.
