Bill to deny Wagner Act rights to Communist dominated unions
Washington labor bill draft proposes stripping Wagner Act protections from unions with Communist party members or affiliations. The Labor-Management Peace Act of 1947 would bar certification of single bargaining agents for multi-employer plants and impose 20 to 30 day cooling off periods for strikes over existing contracts. It also seeks injunctive powers, limited industrywide bargaining, and a new independent conciliation service and NLRA administrator, but awaits full committee approval.
