What's Ahead for Labor?

Baldinger, Wilbur H. | January 4, 1947 issue

This article focuses on expectation of the U.S.-based National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) from the eighth U.S. Congress. One thing on the drafting board was a law breaking up big-union monopoly and localizing labor-management misunderstandings. Any strike would be limited legally to a single union unit at the spot where the controversy developed; a national union would be forbidden to bring in help or to spread the walkout through other sectors of the affected industry. There are doubts if that would work both ways-so that a struck plant couldn't bring in strike-breakers or get other industrial aid in it time of trouble.
