The Smith–Connally Act or War Labor Disputes Act (50 U.S.C. App. 1501 et seq.) was an American law passed on June 25, 1943, over President Franklin D. Roosevelt's veto. The legislation was hurriedly created after 400,000 coal miners, their wages significantly lowered because of high wartime inflation, struck for a $2-a-day wage increase. The Act allowed the federal government to seize and operate industries threatened by or under strikes that would interfere with war production, and prohibited unions from making contributions in federal elections.

| - The Smith–Connally Act or War Labor Disputes Act (50 U.S.C. App. 1501 et seq.) was an American law passed on June 25, 1943, over President Franklin D. Roosevelt's veto. The legislation was hurriedly created after 400,000 coal miners, their wages significantly lowered because of high wartime inflation, struck for a $2-a-day wage increase. The Act allowed the federal government to seize and operate industries threatened by or under strikes that would interfere with war production, and prohibited unions from making contributions in federal elections. The war powers bestowed by the Act were first used in August 1944 when the Fair Employment Practices Commission ordered the Philadelphia Transportation Company to hire African-Americans as motormen. The 10,000 members of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Employees Union (PRTEU), a labor union unaffiliated with either the American Federation of Labor or the Congress of Industrial Organizations, led a sick-out strike, now known as the Philadelphia transit strike of 1944, for six days. President Roosevelt sent 8,000 United States Army troops to the city to seize and operate the transit system, and threatened to draft any PRTEU member who did not return to the job within 48 hours. Roosevelt's actions broke the strike. (en)
- De Smith–Connally Act of War Labor Disputes Act (Oorlogswet arbeidsgeschillen) was een Amerikaanse wet aangenomen tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog die de president machtigde om stakingen te breken. De wet werd op 25 juni 1943 aangenomen door het Congres, na een eerder veto van president Roosevelt. Om de Amerikaanse industriële productie tijdens de oorlog te vrijwaren waren er afspraken tussen vakbonden en werkgeversorganisaties om niet tot stakingen over te gaan. In ruil verkregen de vakbonden waarborgen omtrent lidmaatschap van de vakbonden en een zeker inspraak in de organisatie van de oorlogsindustrie. Aanleiding voor de wet was een lang aanslepende mijnwerkersstaking in 1943. Langs vakbondszijde was er onvrede omtrent de wettelijke rem op de lonen, terwijl bedrijven door de overheidscontracten grote winsten maakten. Het Congres nam het initiatief tot deze wet om nieuwe stakingen te voorkomen. Het voorstel werd ingediend door senatoren en . De wet werd een eerste keer toegepast in Philadelphia in 1944 toen het leger werd ingezet om een staking in het openbaar vervoer te beëindigen. (nl)
