The Taft-Hartly Act authorizes a president to seek a court order for an 80-day cooling-off period for companies and unions to try to resolve their differences. Statement From Congressman Harris: βIt is in the interest of the American people and the economy of Maryland for the President to invoke the Taft-Hartley Act, order the disputing parties in this port strike to the negotiating table, and intensively arbitrate. The President should not allow this strike to ruin the economy or disrupt the supply chain.β | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:57:20Z |
