The Taft Hartley Act Is Still in Effect Today
The Taft Hartley Act still governs us today for workers who try to organize in the private sector. It banned so-called secondary strikes which means that if workers go on strike somewhere workers can't strike in solidarity and particularly if they have a union contract with their employer it'd be illegal now. There are some workers that are exempted from that for example transport workers because they're under a different federal law like the railway labor act. We almost just saw a railroad general strike before the democrats killed it a few weeks ago.
