Will Trump invoke the Taft-Hartley Act during his presidency?
1 markets · 2y
The market strongly expects Trump will not invoke the Taft-Hartley Act before Jan 2029, despite his combative stance toward unions, because the law's national-emergency provisions are rarely used and would require a strike that 'imperils national health or safety'—a high bar in a politically divided environment.
