Oswaldo Hahn · Answer 1

The role of the federal government in the field of labor-management associations had grown powerful over the past 20 years.

This intervention will be substantially diminished if House and Senate proceed to the settlement on bills. This trend approaching federal command was given important purpose by the Wagner Act of 1935 and was strengthened by the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947.

Federal status bargaining with labor disputes ordinarily has granted an area of operation at official preference at one stage or another. President has performed without explicit authorization relying upon the opinion that his response is within the scope of his customary power.

Oftentimes President is blamed of supported or controlled one of the parties to the controversy. If integrity is not challenged federal government intervention is analyzed as an effort which weakens the foundation of collective bargaining and reinforces the habit of appealing problems to the government which might be better settled outside.
