Question

1. what did the taft - hartley act of 1947 do?

a. it created new labor safety standards
b. it provided protections for striking workers
c. it expanded union power
d. it restricted the power of unions

Explanation:

The Taft - Hartley Act of 1947 was designed to restrict the power of labor unions. It allowed states to pass right - to - work laws, restricted certain union activities like secondary boycotts, and required union leaders to take oaths against communism. Option a is incorrect as labor safety standards were not the focus of this act. Option b is wrong because it did not protect striking workers in the way described; in fact, it placed restrictions on strikes. Option c is incorrect as it did not expand union power but rather restricted it.

Answer:

d. It restricted the power of unions
