Taft-Hartley Act

While everyone has the right to form a union is a great thing and is protected by the Wagner Act, there are some unions that become out of control and are "unfair." There are different terms for things that unfair unions do, such as "Featherbedding" or "ClosedShop." Featherbedding is when there are more employees hired for a particular job then needed. Like if a job takes 2 people to do it well, then the union hires 5 people to make it a lot easier for everyone. Closed Shop is where if say a higher position opens up, then the employer can't hire someone new, someone within the union has to get the job.
