Which act restricted union rights and allowed states to enact their own right-to-work legislation?

Norris-La Guardia Act
Smith-Connally Act
Taft-Hartley Act
Lloyd-La Follette Act
Keating-Owen Act

Explanation

Answer: C - The Taft-Hartley Act of 1947 was the first major piece of legislation to limit the power of labor unions. Earlier legislation addressing organized labor only regulated the actions of employers. Taft-Hartley banned numerous acts of striking and picketing that unions could previously employ in collective-bargaining efforts. It has been amended marginally in the years since 1947, but is still in effect in the present day.
