Whenever there's a big strike in the news, someone inevitably invokes the phrase "Taft-Hartely Act" when talking about whether or not the president should intervene. But what is Taft-Hartley? How did it come about? And what can it actually do?

Nick chats with Erik Loomis, a professor at the University of Rhode Island and expert on all things labor-related.
