Explanation :
The National War Labor Board was created during WWI and WWII to resolve labor disputes that arose during the wars. The board acted as an impartial mediator between labor and management and helped to prevent strikes that could disrupt war production. The board did not set pay and benefits rates or prevent bargaining between unions and management. It also did not have the authority to investigate unfair labor practices against employers.
