Question 4 • FL-2100310-United States History Sem 1

Which is a reason for the rapid growth of labor unions in the late 1800s?

Answer
A
the low wages paid to factory workers
B
a lack of jobs for unskilled workers in the nation’s cities
C
a lack of workers to fill all the factory jobs
D
the failure of negotiations between unions and employers

Explanation

Factory workers often faced low wages, long hours, and unsafe conditions in the late 1800s. Workers joined unions to bargain collectively for better pay and working conditions, so low wages helped unions grow rapidly. The other choices do not describe the main conditions that encouraged workers to organize.
