...labor unions to sign non-Communist affidavits before their unions could be certified as bargaining agents. This section in the law has been a flop. Officers of Communist-run unions have simply resigned formally from the party, signed an affidavit, then continued their Red activities as before.

...bills have been introduced into the Senate to enable the NLRB to decertify Red-dominated unions as bargaining agents.
