He thought it was "dangerous intrusion on free speech," and that it would "conflict with important principles of our democratic society."

Absolutely Correct Answer:
B. He felt the act would damage workers' rights.
Why:
He stated in his speech about why he vetoed the bill that he felt that workers would be sorry for wanting the bill to be passed because it would not only affect labor unions but the workers' rights as well.
