The Taft-Hartley Act was passed in 1947 to balance the rights and duties of labor and management in collective bargaining. It prohibited certain unfair labor practices by unions, such as wildcat strikes and secondary boycotts, and gave employers the right to sue unions for damages caused by these activities. It also allowed states to pass "right-to-work" laws, which prohibited unions from requiring workers to join as a condition of employment. The act was viewed as a response to the growing power of unions following World War II, and remains a controversial piece of legislation to this day.
