The controversial Labor Management Relations Act of 1947 (popularly known as the Taft-Hartley Act), amended the Wagner Act, and further defined practices forbidden to organized labor and limited NLRB generally to judicial and policy-making functions. As explained by the NLRB, the Taft Hartley Act ""defined six additional unfair labor practices, reflecting Congress' perception that some union conduct also needed correction. The Act was amended to protect employees' rights from these unfair practices by unions."" The Taft-Hartley Act is still in effective today. This image shows labor's response to the bill with ILGWU President David Dubinsky giving a speech against the Hartley-Taft bill, with Luigi Antonini in the audience, with a sign reading Mr. President Veto the Hartley-Taft Slave Labor Bill in the background, on May 4, 1947. #LaborHistory #CornellRAD #TaftHartley #laborunion #NLRB #ILGWU #CornellRAD #KheelCenter @CornellILR https://www.instagram.com/p/CQdzpTts9td/?utm_medium=tumblr
