Answer:

by breaking up different unionized labor strikes and vetoing the Taft-Hartley Act.

Step-by-step explanation:

Truman saw the Taft-Hartley Act as radical and vetoed the bill before it became law. Truman believed the act would damage workers' rights and the bargaining power of labor unions. Truman's veto regained him the respect of labor unions, but it also angered Congress. The Republicans mustered enough votes to overturn the presidential veto and put Taft-Hartley into
