Closed Shop Ban Likely to be Abolished in 1949
Washington observers on both labor and management sides foresee major changes to the Taft-Hartley Act in the 80th Congress. Analysts suggest the closed shop ban could be overturned and a new form of union shop may emerge. Unionism would require workers to join or be fired, while employers would hire freely under a different framework. The Chamber of Commerce agrees radical changes are likely and that the ban and union authorization provisions may be removed.
