Nothing, it actually helped the employers. Before the act was passed employees had much more power and bargaining ability in the way that they would strike. This act allowed them to have to follow the union rules and hence set up organized strikes. This gave stability to the employer and belittled the employee.
Actually, before the NLRA, employees had no power to strike and retain their jobs, and thoussands went to prison for extortion. NLRA made union legal, and allowed strikes for economic reasons (strikers permanently replaced) or for unfair labor practices (strikers temporarily replaced, then rehired)
