What is Taft Hartley
Taft Hartley is a combination of Laws proposed by Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio in the senate, Taft the son of William Howard Taft was an influential and some called Great senator, but here what some call the "Slave-labor bill" was never passed, because of the threat of a general strike of every union in the nation including every member in the AFL and CIO. Taft-Hartley destroyed Organized Labor in the United States. Making "closed shops" illegal, these shops were only allowed to employ Union members. However it left "Union Shops" open which dictated that after a certain time employees at the shop must join a labor union.

No AFL-CIO
The AFL-CIO never forms meaning that the AFL most likely would have continued the admission of African American and Mexican workers, but not allowing the Admission of Chinese workers who they felt were threatening the White Cigar rollers. Along with the semi-anti women policy, but That would most likely be phased out by the 1960s or early 70s along with the anti Chinese sentiment.

The CIO would probably gain in the places the AFL lost they would probably if they already didn't have the Teachers and Nurses Unions, making them the most powerful union in the united states controlling 2 of the most Powerful Unions increasing a possible lobbying body for the CIO into a massive body.
