The Associated Press reports a proposed “big stick” law to broaden government authority over defense production stops. It would allow direct government intervention in plants failing to meet defense contracts, aligning with powers under the existing selective service act to seize plants if owners refuse cooperation. Advocates say it aims to end strikes by making worker action illegal during defense production crises.
