Laursen, Eric
- Abstract
The author discusses the decline of the labor movement in the U.S., specifically the role of the 1947 Taft-Hartley Act, also known as the Slave-Labor Act. Particular focus is given to the history of the Act, its ban on jurisdictional strikes, and authorizing states to pass right-to-work laws. Other topics discussed include the Democratic Party's failure to repeal the act and the potential impact of President Donald Trump's labor policies.
