The '''Taft-Hartley Act''' (1947), or Taft-Hartley Labor Act, was perhaps the single greatest legislative achievement of the 20th century, passed by a [[Republican]] [[Congress]] in override of President [[Harry Truman]]'s veto. The Taft-Hartley Act single-handedly ended the dire and growing problem of strikes after [[World War II]], and saved [[capitalism]] from the unions in the [[United States]]. Ever since the Act's passage, [[Democrats]] have unsuccessfully attempted to repeal it. | The '''Taft-Hartley Act''' (1947), or Taft-Hartley Labor Act, was perhaps the single greatest legislative achievement of the 20th century, passed by a [[Republican]] [[Congress]] in override of President [[Harry Truman]]'s veto.
