**(a)** This chapter may be cited as the “Labor Management Relations Act, 1947”.
**(b)** Industrial strife which interferes with the normal flow of commerce and with the full production of articles and commodities for commerce, can be avoided or substantially minimized if employers, employees, and labor organizations each recognize under law one another’s legitimate rights in their relations with each other, and above all recognize under law that neither party has any right in its relations with any other to engage in acts or practices which jeopardize the public health, safety, or interest.It is the purpose and policy of this chapter, in order to promote the full flow of commerce, to prescribe the legitimate rights of both employees and employers in their relations affecting commerce, to provide orderly and peaceful procedures for preventing the interference by either with the legitimate rights of the other, to protect the rights of individual employees in their relations with labor organizations whose activities affect commerce, to define and proscribe practices on the part of labor and management which affect commerce and are inimical to the general welfare, and to protect the rights of the public in connection with labor disputes affecting commerce.

pressions, by depressing wage rates and the pur-
chasing power of wage earners in industry and
by preventing the stabilization of competitive
wage rates and working conditions within and
between industries.
Experience has proved that protection by law
of the right of employees to organize and bar-
gain collectively safeguards commerce from in-
jury, impairment, or interruption, and promotes
the flow of commerce by removing certain rec-
ognized sources of industrial strife and unrest,
by encouraging practices fundamental to the
friendly adjustment of industrial disputes aris-
ing out of differences as to wages, hours, or
other working conditions, and by restoring
equality of bargaining power between employers
and employees.
Experience has further demonstrated that cer-
tain practices by some labor organizations, their
officers, and members have the intent or the
necessary effect of burdening or obstructing
commerce by preventing the free flow of goods
in such commerce through strikes and other
forms of industrial unrest or through concerted
activities which impair the interest of the pub-
lic in the free flow of such commerce. The elimi-
nation of such practices is a necessary condition
to the assurance of the rights herein guaranteed.
It is hereby declared to be the policy of the
United States to eliminate the causes of certain
substantial obstructions to the free flow of com-
merce and to mitigate and eliminate these ob-
structions when they have occurred by encour-
aging the practice and procedure of collective
bargaining and by protecting the exercise by
workers of full freedom of association, self-orga-
nization, and designation of representatives of
their own choosing, for the purpose of negoti-
ating the terms
