Far-Reaching Labor Bill Signed In 1959 by Eisenhower
President Eisenhower signed the Taft Hartley era overhaul into law to curb union racketeering and abuse revealed by investigations. The measure limits secondary boycotts and organizational picketing, sets union member rights, requires detailed financial reporting, tightens trusteeships, and introduces secret ballots. It also ends no man's land jurisdiction and bans certain prohibited practices. The AFL CIO argues it weakens labor power while some employers praise the tightening of union influence.
