For what reasons did union membership decline during the 1920s?
Unions lost many government contracts after WW I and many workers were out of jobs, including Union workers. There were many strikes during the 1920s and striker's grievances were generally valid, but few Americans or the government sided with the labor movement during the strikes. Many businesses described the strikers as revolutionaries trying to destroy the capitalistic system. Many Americans bought that description. There were a few gains made by labor during the decade but many major strikes failed and the violence that occurred during some strikes began a decline in Labor Union membership and support. In 1919, organized labor membership was around 5 million. In 1929 that number had dropped to 3.6 million.
