Here'sTheABCOfThe
Jaft-HartleyLaborBill
And What Led Up To It
Br JAMES MARLOW
I WA8HINOTON, June M (r-Here a brief ABO on the Taft-Hart-S
ley Ubor bill and what led up to It.
It'i to big, lt' so complicated, nd It doei eo many things that the
wtaest labor lawyer right now can't tell you all It means or would do.
For that reason many suits and test cases will be taken Into federal
courts to get decisions on what this or that means.
For 150 years In This country unions fought to force employer to
bargain with them. No law said a boss had to bargain with a union.
To gain their point, unions struck. Frequently' a boss could get
federal Judges to order them, by injunction, not to strike.
Congress Glvea Aid
In 1032 congress gave organised labor Its first big help. It passed
the Norrls-LaOuardta act.
This law practically made It Impossible for a boss to get a court
order stopping a strike. This strengthened unions' bargaining power a
bit.
.But there still was no law compelling a boss to bargain with a
union. Labor got this In 135 when congress passed the Wagner act.
This act, In brief, did two main things. It said:
' 1. A boss has to bargain with a union, of his workers. It didn't say
a union has to bargain with a boss. The union could stall, If It wished.
1. The boss can't be unfair to unions, such as threatening to fire a
man If he Joins a union.
(The national labor relations board (NLRB), set up to administer
' the Wagner act could, with the help of courts, make a boss stop being
unfair).
In the II years since 1935. by grace of the Wagner act. unions have
grown tremendously strong, too strong to suit some people, including
congressmen.
Critics of the Wagner act said It gar unions all the benefit and
bosses none.
' Unions Restricted
Nov? this year congress ha passed the Taft-Hartley bill to put re
strictions on unions.
It puts more restrictions on them than they've had In all history.
The bill would make changes In the Wagner act and add some new
things of Its own.
Here are some of It main points:
L Employers still are compelled to bargain with unions. But now
unions must bargain with a boss. They cant stall him.
t. CJosed shops where everyone must be a union member are for
bidden. The Wagner act permitted closed shops!.
l m anltn of the Nonis-LaOuardia act. the government can get
injunctions to hold up tor 80 days strikes endangering national health
and welfare.
4. Bosses are freer now to tell , workers what they think about a
union. The bosses had to be pretty careful under the Wagner, act.
, . A boss doesn't have to bargain with a union if any of It officers
are communists. The Wagner act said nothing about this.
s. Bosses don't have to bargain with their foremen, even though
they Join a union. The Wagner act ignored this.
T. Unions cant charge "excessive" dues. The Wagner act put no
limit on this. '
a. Union and bosses cant break contracts without being liable for
damage suits. The Wagner act didn't cover this. '
a. Union cant commit "unfair" labor practices. (There's a list of
them). Under the Wagner act, bosses were forbidden such practices.
The list of do's and don't is very long.
