Taft-Hartley Injunctions and Labor Strife Across Three Years
The Taft-Hartley Act, enacted three years ago, legalized injunctions to curb unfair labor practices and permit 80-day strikes in national emergencies. National Labor Relations Board actions show 78 against unions and two against employers, but only three injunctions issued. In 1948 President Truman used the emergency procedure eight times, only once since, during the 1950 soft coal disturbance. Instances include meat packing and Oak Ridge energy workers, longshoremen, and miners, with disputes often extending beyond the injunction period. Critics label the tool as slave labor despite limited use and debate persists.
