The Taft-Hartley Act of 1947 restricted the rights of

labor unions.

The act restricts Unions in the following ways.

-It outlaws "secondary strikes; " a union boycotting an unrelated business for which it has no quarrel.

-It outlaws "closed shops; " a contract between an employer and a union stating the employer can only hire union workers.

-It requires unions to give the government an 80 day notice before striking.

-It bars unions from making a campaign donation for someone running for federal office.
