the break was over a failure of the afl to settle a jurisdictional dispute between iam and the united brotherhood of carpenters and joiners of america as well as the amalgamated association of street and electric railway employees of america. iam disaffiliated with the afl in 1945. in 1947 congress passed the taft hartley act, officially known as the labor-management relations act, which placed restrictions on union activities. this act also contained provisions that made closed shops illegal and outlawed boycotts. the second section of the taft hartley act was controversial because it allowed states to pass right-to-work laws, which enabled them to regulate the number of union shops. furthermore, the machinists worked with afl unions to repeal the act. the limitations imposed on union political activity by this act led to the creation of the machinists' non- partisan political league. in 1948, lodge 751 went on strike against the boeing company in seattle, washington. the machinists preserved longstanding seniority rules that the company wanted to abolish and achieved a 10 percent per hour raise. iam also competed for members with the united auto workers of america in the automotive industry and with the united aerospace workers for aircraft working in that union. in 1949, iam signed no-raiding agreements with both unions. those agreements become the model for other unions when afl and the cio merged in 1955.

all forms of closed shops in the uk are illegal following the introduction of the employment act 1990. they were further curtailed under section 137(1)(a) of the trade union and labour relations (consolidation) act 1992 (c. 52) passed by the conservative government at the time. the labour party, then in opposition, had supported closed shops until december 1989, when it abandoned the policy in accordance with european legislation. however, labour shadow arts minister thangam debbonaire announced to an equity conference in may 2016 that she favoured the introduction of a "limited" closed shop for actors, as part of jeremy corbyn's pledge to strengthen and introduce a new package of employment rights beneficial to employees. equity was one of the last trade unions in the united kingdom to offer a pre-entry closed shop until the 1990 act.
