Both President Harry Truman and President Dwight D. Eisenhower faced significant challenges with union activity and inflation during their administrations. Truman implemented measures such as the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947, which aimed to limit the power of labor unions and curb strikes that could disrupt the economy. Eisenhower, on the other hand, focused on promoting economic stability through fiscal policies and maintaining a moderate approach to labor relations, advocating for collective bargaining while also supporting legislation to control inflation, such as the establishment of the Council of Economic Advisers. Both presidents sought to balance the interests of workers with the need for economic growth and stability.
Truman's biggest domestic problem would be the fact that he, being the predecessor of F.D.R who helped bring the country up and out of the Depression, was in F.D.R's shadow. He felt he needed to sustain the country as well as F.D.R did.
