The options of the question are, A) it includes numerous pro-union measures. B) it prohibited wage discrimination based on race. C) it gave the government control over the Unions. D) it allowed states to pass right-to-work laws.
The correct answer is D) it allowed states to pass right-to-work laws.
The statement that is true about the Taft-Hartley Act when it was passed in 1947 is “it allowed states to pass right-to-work laws.”
In 1947, the United States Congress passed the Taft-Hartley Act because it considered that the powers of Unions had been increasing with time. It represented a response of big companies against the power of Unions. With the Taft-Hartley Act, the government was allowed to postpone a strike. Unions viewed the resolution as a political loss. The Act also gave employees the right to not bargain with Unions.
