re: #342 EPR-radar

Republican dogma failed so badly in the Great Depression that they spent decades pretending to care about labor, while shanking unions in the back at every opportunity (e.g., Taft-Hartley).

Now they no longer bother with the mask.

Taft-Hartley passed during the Truman administration but union growth continued for many years thereafter. Truman vetoed it, but only 71 House Democrats voted to sustain the veto vs. 106 who voted to override. Senate Democrats voted 22-20 to sustain. Anti-union agitation was a bi-partisan effort in those days.
