Taft Hartley Transforms Labor Law Into Oppressive Framework
Labor lawyer Nathan Witt argues the Taft Hartley Act marks the darkest year for U S labor legislation. He says it rewrites Wagner Norris LaGuardia protections, empowers courts to curb union activity on vague charges, and erodes decades of labor progress. He labels U S law fascist in character and warns of harsher penalties for unions than for employers.
