The Republican Party believes that regular and adequate income for the employee together with uninterrupted production of goods and services, through the medium of private enterprise, are essential to a sound national economy. This can only be obtained in an era of industrial peace.
With the above in mind, we favor the retention of the Taft-Hartley Act, which guarantees:
To the Working Man:
The right to quit his job at any time.
The right to take part in legal union activities.
The right to remain in his union so long as he pays his dues.
The right to protection against unfair practices by either employer or union officials.
The right to political activity of his own choice and freedom to contribute thereto.
The right to a job without first joining a union.
The right to a secret ballot in any election concerned with his livelihood.
The right to protection from personal financial responsibility in damage cases against his union.
To the Labor Unions:
The right to establish "union shop" contracts by agreement with management.
The right to strike.
The right to free collective bargaining.
The right to protection from rival unions during the life of union contracts.
The right to assurance from employers that they will bargain only with certified unions as a protection against unfair labor practices.
We urge the adoption of such amendments to the Taft-Hartley Act as time and experience show to be desirable, and which further protect the rights of labor, management and the public.
We condemn the President's seizure of plants and industries to force the settlement of labor disputes by claims of inherent

That means slavery. The right for someone to leave their job, and get another if they choose.

1952 was after the child slavery era. My best guess is that maybe you weren't allowed to quit some war production related jobs during WWII?

Some companies would also do this thing where they would make you incur debts, and then not allow you to leave until they were paid. Like an endless cycle.
