Discuss the significant laws passed since the Great Depression that affect labor-management relations

What will be an ideal response?


The Taft-Hartley Act of 1947 allowed states to pass right-to-work laws and gave the president power to obtain an injunction that will stop a strike for an 80-day cooling-off period. It also made closed shops illegal, as well as jurisdictional disputes, sympathy strikes and secondary boycotts. A jurisdictional dispute involves two or more unions striking over which should have control. A sympathy strike is when one union strikes in sympathy with another union. A secondary boycott is a boycott of products sold by companies that are dealing with a company being struck.
