After its enactment, the Taft-Hartley Act permitted the president to appoint people to conduct investigations about any disputes that happen within unions.

At the same time, the president can also get an 80-day injunction that will stop the strike. The employer is also not allowed to collect any union fees through the check-off system. Unions are also not allowed to make any contribution of any nature to political campaigns and politicians.
