New Labor Law Takes Effect in 1960 After Looming Change
The new Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 goes into effect on Friday November 13 1960 expanding federal oversight of unions and employers. It criminalizes embezzlement extortion and violence while requiring detailed financial disclosures and reporting from 55000 unions and 500000 company officials. It also strengthens member rights with secret ballots and remedies against crooked officials. Legal and political reactions await court challenges and future enforcement.
