What the Bill Provides
The proposal allows a wartime plant to delay strike action until a secret employee vote is held. If a majority votes to quit making war materials, the President may seize the plant. It makes it a crime to coerce or urge interruptions to production. It upholds basic worker rights while restricting labor leaders misusing power.
