"Labor-Taft Hartley Act", 1949
Scope and Contents
A substantial amount of correspondence primarily concerning the Taft-Hartley Labor Act. The Taft-Hartley Act (Labor Management Relations Act of 1947) was a law to restrict the activities and power of labor unions. The Taft-Hartley Labor Act was vetoed by President Truman in 1947. However, Congress then voted to override the President's veto. Senator Maybank supported the labor bill. Legislation was then introduced in 1949 to repeal the Labor-Management Relations Act of 1947 and reenact the National Labor Relations act of 1935.
