At this luncheon, the 1959 Landrum-Griffin Act was debated. There are two speakers whose arguments were recorded separately, resulting in two audio reels. The first recording contains only Louis Waldman's argument against the law, which posits that the law was hastily written, and that requiring a state charter to form a union, mandating reporting requirements for unions, and government regulation of membership dues payments constitutes unjust and unconstitutional harm to unions and the labor movement. The second recording contains only Chairman of the Committee on Labor Management Relations of the New York Chamber of Commerce David Benetar's defense of the law, which argues that the law was passed in a climate of strong labor influence, that restraints on corruption within the labor movement were necessary, and that the law is unfairly characterized and the harm exagerrated by union supporters, although he concedes that the law could be improved, but should not be repealed.
