Act sought to curb the power of Labour unions which had been given greater power under the Wagner act.

Explanation:

Charles Craver explains the intent of Congress to pass the Tart-Hartley Act. It was done to curb the overarching power of the labour unions and labour bosses in a bid to protect the workers. The act was passed by congressmen Fred A Hartley and his republican colleague who have felt the need for curbing the Wagner act which had provided over-arching powers to the labour unions.

Under the Taft-Hartley Act, not only the right of workers to form unions was protected but also member’s right to defy the union leaders to call for territorial strikes or to take harmful action against workers was expanded. In a nutshell, the act cut short the power of the union to subdue the economic growth prospects, profits as well as opportunities of the individual worker.
