Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Taft-Hartley Act, also known as the Labor-Management Relations Act of 1947, amended the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) and gave states the authority to pass right-to-work laws. These laws prohibit compulsory union membership as a condition of employment in the private sector. Therefore, the correct answer is C) Taft-Hartley Act. The Wagner Act and Railway Labor Act are not related to right-to-work laws, and the Landrum-Griffin Act deals with regulations on labor unions, not compulsory union membership.
