TAFT-HARTLEY ACT FACES
TESTS IN COMING MONTHS
•
Major Labor Contracts up For Re
vision Between Now and Aug. 31
By CHARLES H. HERROLD
United Press Staff Correspondent
•
WASHINGTON (UP)—The next
six months will provide import
ant tests of the nation's new lab
or relations machinery established
by the Taft-Hartley law.
That is the consensus of gov
ernment. industry and labor union
officials affected by provisions of
the law that was passed June 23,
1047, over Pres. Truman’s veto.
The application of the law to
those agreements and to other
matters is explained in the fol
lowing questions and answers:
What must the parties do under
the law regarding the agree
ments?
Give eavh other 60 days’ notice
of intention to renew, modify oi
let them expire. If no agreement
is reached in 30 days, then they
I file notice of unsettled disputes
j with the Federal Mediation and
Conciliation Service.
Is there a penalty for striking
| without qivinq such notice?
Yes. If employees srtike before
the end of the 60-day period, they
lose their rights to vote in any
bargaining election and to clairr
unfair labor practices until and
unless they are reinstated by th(
, employers.
I What is the Federal Mediatior
I and Conciliation Service?
I An independent agency, head
ed by Cyrus S. Ching as directoi
to mediate labor and management

disputes.
What strikes or disputes does
it handle?
Only those which substantially
affect interstate commerce, or
“which imperil the national safe
ty or health.” The service can re
fer a dispute of the latter kind to
the President for appointment of
a fact-finding panel. The Presi
dent can seek a court injunction
to halt such a strike pending the
panel’s report and further media
tion. Such an injunction could
halt for 80 clays a strike that
would imperil the national health
or safety .
Are any other strikes illegal?
• Yes, for the first time this law
makes illegal any strike for union
recognition, for jurisdiction over
work, or for the closed shop. It
also outlaws the secondary boy
How can the government halt
these strikes?
Board and its general counsel,
Robert N. Denham, are authorized
to seek court injunction. Failure
to obey the injunctions makes the
unions and their officers liable to
fines or jail sentences.
What is the National Labor Re
lations Board?
This is an independent five-man
agency established by the act to
hold elections to determine as to
whether employees want a union
whether they want a union shop,
or to decertify a union or to with
draw union shop authorization?
It also decides when an employ
er or a union commits an unfair
labor practice. The board acts on
ly after it has been petitioned by
a union, employer or individual
employee.
What are unfair labor practices?
Employers, as under the Wagner
Act. are still forbidden to inter
fere with, restrain or coerce em
ployees in their efforts to organ
ize unions. Employers are forbid
den to refuse to bargain with a
union certified* to represent the
employees. F’or the first time the
law puts ttie same prohibitions
on unions. Furthermore, the un
ions are forbidden to engage in
the strikes listed above, or to
charge excessive initiation fees
or to “featherbed" by demanding
pay for work NOT to be perform
ed.
What are the penalties?
The Labor Board can order re
instatement of employees who
have been diseriminatorily dis
charged, with hack pay from em
ployer or union or both. It can
order an one* to any unfair labor
practice and seek court enforce
ment. in whii h case the offend
ing parties arc liable to fines or
.iail if they violate a court order.

aska. 68-75c
What union can use the board '
tor elections and to bring unfair
labor charges?
Only those local and interna
tional unions which have filed an
nual financial reports with the
secretary of labor and whose of
ficers have filed non-communist
affidavits under the Labor Board.
As of January 31, seventy-nine of
105 AFL Unions. 23 of 41 CIO
Unions ana* 41 independents had
met those conditions.
When can elections be request
ed?
Unions and employers can ask
a bargaining election at any time
but only once a year in the same
plant. Heretofore, the privilege of
seeking elections was denied em
ployers. Unions also can request
a union shop election if 30 per
cent of the employees approve.
Thirty per cent of the employees
may obtain an election to decert
ify a union or withdraw union
shop authorization. But when the
election actually is held, it takes
a majority to decide.
Can unions be sued?
Yes, in federal olstricts courts
for breach of contract, unlawful
boycotts and also jurisdictional
strikes. Abaut 30 suits have so
far been filed.
|

i granted in place of th? closed
shop?
1 The closed shop is forbidden.
An employer may grant a union
; shop provided 51 per cent of em
| ployees in a plant vote for it. He
may check off dues only if inefi
: viduallv authorized by the em
ployees.
I May government employees also
strike?
i No.
Is union political activity limit
ed?
Yes. It is unlawful for a union,
j as well as a corporation, to make
' a contribution or ependiture in
j conection with a national elec
jtion. primary, political convention
lor caucus. That provision is being
j tested in the courts.
What about welfare funds?
s
| Employers may conribute to un
1 ion welfare funds provided t lie
| money is held in trust for pay
! ment to employees, o'ependents,
: or families for medical care, pen
sions. death benefits, accident or
