Question 13 • (OC27) US History-2100310-S1-Meadows

Which was a major achievement of both the Knights of Labor and the American Federation of Labor during the late 1800s and early 1900s?

Answer
A
an end to labor strikes across the country
B
the expansion of the labor force to include immigrants
C
the reduction of the workday from ten to eight hours
D
the hiring of skilled labor in factories

Explanation

Both the Knights of Labor and the American Federation of Labor supported reducing the workday, and the campaign for an eight-hour day became a major labor movement goal. This makes “the reduction of the workday from ten to eight hours” the correct choice. They did not end strikes, which continued during this period.
