Stassen Ball And Taft Clash Over Labor Policy
The 1948 GOP contenders Harold Stassen and Senator Robert Taft clashed on labor reform during Stassen's Senate hearing. Stassen proposed a secret ballot vote by workers before any strike, while Taft argued it would misalign with leadership. Ball opposed Stassen's failed bid to outlaw the closed shop and opposed industry wide bargaining limits. Stassen urged a neutral labor office, pre strike conciliation steps, and a post negotiation ballot, with a commission study urged by the president.
