Taft Hartley Act limits on Union Labor in 1947
The Taft Hartley Labor Management Relations Act of 1947 imposes new limits on unions while preserving core rights to form join and bargain. It tightens employer responsibilities and shifts federal labor policy away from strong union protection. The act applies to interstate industries not railroads or local businesses and phased in from June 23 with remaining provisions effective today. The National Labor Relations Board retains powers to stop unfair practices and hold elections, though new rules reshape enforcement and bargaining dynamics.
