AFL Urges Scrapping of Most Provisions of Taft-Hartley Law
AFL calls for broad repeal of Taft-Hartley provisions in a 15 page statement by George Meany to House Labor Committee hearings. Repeal would restore much of Wagner Act framework, including ending the 60 day injunction, favoring mediation and arbitration, legalizing the closed shop, lifting bans on secondary boycotts, and removing non Communist affidavit rules. Meany also seeks stronger Justice Department action against Communists and removal of notice requirements before Taft-Hartley procedures can modify health plans.
