Sections 6 and 20 of the Clayton Act (1914) declare that labor organizations are not illegal combinations or conspiracies in restraint of trade under federal antitrust law, directly exempting them from the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890.

Agricultural organizations received the same exemption under the same legislation.

The Railway Labor Act (1926) governs collective bargaining rights for railroad and airline employees but does not contain provisions exempting labor unions from the Sherman Antitrust Act.

The National Labor Relations Act (1935) established workers' rights to organize and created the NLRB, but the antitrust exemption for unions had already been established by the Clayton Act more than 20 years earlier.

The National Industrial Recovery Act (1933) recognized workers' rights to organize and set industry codes, but it did not provide the specific antitrust exemption for labor and agricultural organizations.
