NOTES SOME UNION UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICES UNDER THE TAFT-HARTLEY ACT When, on June 23, 1947, more than two-thirds of the members of the Senate of the United States voted to override the President's veto of the Labor Management Relations Act, generally referred to as the Taft-Hartley Act,' the United States had adopted the most detailed, most complex, and most comprehensive national labor legislation in the history of the nation. According to its proponents, the Act is designed to establish a balance of power between employers and unions, to protect employee rights, and to emphasize and safeguard the public interest. It amends and re-enacts the National Labor Rela- tions Act2, commonly known as the Wagner Act, which has been the subject of continuous litigation and judicial interpretation during the past twelve years.
