A mercenary is someone hired to temporarily serve in a foreign army, they are normally specialized fighters with a specific skill, for example, archery. Unlike an official soldier of an army, a mercenary doesn't serve for political interests but for money or any other personal interest.

In the Roman Empire, mercenaries were non-Roman citizens hired to fortify the Empire's borders from any external attack or offensive. If they served for 25 years, they were given citizenship and rewarded with a plot of land to farm in their retirement.

Why was the taft-hartley act passed? to curb union power to allow unions to organize white-collar workers to allow employers to
Nataly [62]
The correct answer is to curb union power.

In this law, there are several different restrictions put on the ability of laborers/workers to strike. For example, a clause within this law makes it so that workers must give 80 day notice in terms of strike. This notice must be given to the company itself along with state and federal agencies. This is done in hopes that a collective bargaining agreement can be agreed upon before the strike even occurs. Before this time,there were no necessary number of days individuals had to wait before striking.
