That is certainly true of the antimerger law, the Clayton Act, Section 7, which simply hasn't been enforced.

Along with helping unions, the Clayton Act forbids interlocking directorates.

For example, the Clayton Act added certain practices to the list of impermissible activities:

This persisted until 1914, when the Clayton Act created exceptions for certain union activities.

But the appeals court set the order aside, declaring that "divestiture is not an available remedy in private actions" under the Clayton Act.

The Clayton Act passed by a vote of 277 to 54 on June 5, 1914.

The Clayton Act made both substantive and procedural modifications to federal antitrust law.

Another important factor to consider is the amendment passed in Congress on Section 7 of the Clayton Act in 1950.

First, since the Clayton Act 1914 6, there is no application of antitrust laws to agreements between employees to form or act in labor unions.

It was strengthened in 1914 with the adoption of the Clayton Act.
