Taft-Hartley Act (1947)
Mon Jun 23, 1947
Image: A massive 1947 union rally in Madison Square Garden. A large sign reads "MR PRESIDENT: VETO THE HARTLEY-TAFT SLAVE-LABOR BILL"
On this day in 1947, the Taft-Hartley Act became U.S. law after a heavily bipartisan vote, greatly restricting the legal rights of organizing workers during an unprecedented wave of strikes after World War II.
The Labor Management Relations Act of 1947, better known as the Taft-Hartley Act, was enacted despite the veto of President Harry S. Truman, with many Democrats defecting from the party line to support the union-busting measure.
The Act was introduced in the aftermath of a major, unprecedented wave of strikes in the aftermath of World War II, from 1945-1946. Strikes were strongly repressed during World War II to not hamper the war effect. When the wartime restrictions ended, millions of workers across the country went on strike.
The Taft-Hartley Act prohibits unions from engaging in "unfair labor practices." Among the practices prohibited by the act are jurisdictional strikes, wildcat strikes, solidarity or political strikes, secondary boycotts, secondary and mass picketing, closed shops, and monetary donations by unions to federal political campaigns. The Act also allowed states to pass right-to-work laws banning union shops.
A pamphlet supporting a third, progressive party, published in 1948, had this to say on the vote:
"Every scheme of the lobbyists to fleece the public became law in the 80th Congress. And every constructive proposal to benefit the common people gathered dust in committee pigeonholes. The bi-partisan bloc, the Republocratic cabal which ruled Congress and made a mockery of President Roosevelt's economic bill of rights, also wrecked the Roosevelt foreign policy. A new foreign policy was developed. This policy was still gilded with the good words of democracy. But its Holy Grail was oil...
The Democratic administration carries the ball for Wall Street's foreign policy. And the Republican party carries the ball for Wall Street's domestic policy. Of course the roles are sometimes interchangeable...
On occasion President Truman still likes to lay an occasional verbal wreath on the grave of the New Deal. But the hard facts of roll call votes show that Democrats are voting more and more like Republicans. If the Republican Taft-Hartley bill became law over the President's veto, it was because many of the Democrats allied themselves to the Republicans."

Das Hundlein hat einen offenen Mund, der auf eine fröhliche oder aufgeregte Haltung hinweist, und seine großen, dunklen Augen blicken direkt in die Kamera. Es trägt eine Art Schnurrbart aus dunklerem Fell, das seine Nase umrahmt. Das Tier sitzt auf einem grauen Kissen, das mit einem dunkleren, gepunkteten Kissen überlagert ist. Im Hintergrund ist ein Teil eines grauen Sofas mit einem grauen und einem gestreiften Kissen zu sehen. Der Boden ist aus Holz und ein Teil eines grauen Teppichs ist sichtbar.

KDE Confirms Ongoing Plasma X11 Support, But the Future Is Clearly Wayland
Currently, 73% of Plasma 6 users (with telemetry enabled) are on Wayland, up from 60% across all Plasma versions.
P.S.
Interestingly, X11-related bugs make up less than 1% of all open issues in KDE’s bug tracker, suggesting that most problems (and improvements) these days are platform-agnostic. So, while X11 isn’t getting new love, users still benefit from general Plasma development.

Earth’s Oxygen Levels and Magnetic Field Strength Show Strong Correlation
In an Earth-sized take on the age-old ‘correlation or causality’ question, researchers have come across a fascinating match between Earth’s magnetic field and its oxygen levels since the Cambrian explosion, about 500 million years ago. The full results by [Weijia Kuang] et al. were published in Science Advances, where the authors speculate that this high correlation between the geomagnetic dipole and oxygen levels as recorded in the Earth’s geological mineral record may be indicative of the Earth’s geological processes affecting the evolution of lifeforms in its biosphere.
As with any such correlation, one has to entertain the notion that said correlation might be spurious or indirectly related before assuming a strong causal link. Here it is for example known already that the solar winds affect the Earth’s atmosphere and with it the geomagnetic field, as more intense solar winds increase the loss of oxygen into space, but this does not affect the strength of the geomagnetic field, just its shape. The question is thus whether there is a mechanism that would affect this field strength and consequently cause the loss of oxygen to the solar winds to spike.
Here the authors suggest that the Earth’s core dynamics – critical to the geomagnetic field – may play a major role, with conceivably the core-mantle interactions over the course of millions of years affecting it. As supercontinents like Pangea formed, broke up and partially reformed again, the impact of this material solidifying and melting could have been the underlying cause of these fluctuations in oxygen and magnetic field strength levels.
Although hard to say at this point in time, it may very well be that this correlation is causal, albeit as symptoms of activity of the Earth’s core and liquid mantle.
