CIO Pushes Labor Legislation Reforms in Congress

A coalition urges limiting union shops and narrowing sanctions on strikes while bills in both Senate and House address when such contracts may exist. Provisions on injunctions, jurisdictional strikes, and secondary boycotts draw opposition. supervisory employees are exempt from mandatory bargaining.

House Bills Would Reshape Labor Board and Unions

The two bills propose altering the National Labor Relations Board to seven members with higher pay, or abolishing it for a new board to judge unfair labor practices but not prosecute. They target picketing, jurisdictional strikes, secondary boycotts, and union political contributions, while allowing government action to halt strikes nationwide and lawsuits against unions that break contracts. Both measures list union practices to be declared unfair under the law.
