Taft Hartley cooling off steps outlined for coal strike
President Carter invoked the Taft Hartley Act to end a three month coal miners strike. An 80 day cooling off period begins with a three member panel report and possible court injunction. Steps include a second public report, a secret ballot, and possible lifting of the injunction after 85 days. Failure to obey can bring contempt charges. The act had been used 34 times previously, last by Nixon in 1971 over a dockers strike.
