The Taft-Hartley Act, passed in 1947 in the USA, marked a significant shift in labor relations. This legislation aimed to balance power between labor unions and employers by curbing some of the powers unions had gained under the Wagner Act. The Taft-Hartley Act prohibited unfair labor practices by unions, such as secondary boycotts and closed shops, and placed restrictions on union donations to political campaigns. It also allowed the president to temporarily halt labor disputes affecting national interests. The act was met with strong opposition from unions but was viewed as necessary for maintaining a balance between workers' rights and economic stability. #TaftHartleyAct #LaborRelations #USCongress #UnionRegulations
