Truman views the Taft-Hartley Act as radical because it undermines the rights of workers and unions by imposing restrictions on collective bargaining and allowing states to pass "right-to-work" laws, which weaken union power. He believes it shifts the balance of power away from labor, ultimately threatening the gains made during the New Deal era. Truman argues that the act prioritizes corporate interests over the well-being of workers, which he sees as a fundamental departure from moderate labor policies.
Truman views the act as radical because it significantly expands the federal government's role in economic and social policies, which he believes goes beyond traditional liberal reforms. He argues that the measures proposed are essential to address systemic inequalities and improve the welfare of all citizens, rather than merely maintaining the status quo.

Thus, Truman perceives the act as a bold step toward a more equitable society.
