Question 1 • US History II S1 - Molyneux - 6250 - 2026/27

Which of the following was a tactic that companies used to hurt unions?

Answer
A
hiring scabs
B
firing all workers
C
using arbitration
D
hiring the military

Explanation

Companies sometimes hired replacement workers, called scabs, to keep production going during a strike and weaken the union’s bargaining power. Firing all workers or hiring the military was not the typical tactic described here, and arbitration is a way to resolve a dispute rather than directly undermine a union.
