Which is true of labor unions?

Answer 1

workers were helped by public opinion and consumer boycotts

Answer 2

Labor unions are organizations of people who work for one particular company or one particular kind of company or in one particular trade. They usually engage in collective bargaining with the management of the companies that the members work for. They bargain for wages, benefits, and job conditions and try to negotiate contracts that will set these things for all employees. Their big weapon is the strike, which means the union members refuse to work until they their demands are met. In order to be effective, the striking workers have to prevent others from taking their places, and that is where trouble occurs. In order to engage in collective bargaining without a strike, a large percentage of a company's employees must be union members, and there is potential for conflict here. The union may force people to join before they even start to work, the "closed shop." Management may try to discourage union membership in any number of ways, so laws have been passed to guarantee the right to organize a union.

Answer 3

unions found it hard to fight against rich owners who had government support

Answer 4

What is true is that all worker's rights were obtained by unions, either directly or indirectly. Before workers organized, there were no worker's rights.
