Question 8 • United States History and Geography

What is one reason that workers joined together to form unions in the late 1800s?

Answer
A
They believed that unions provided the only way to end strikes and lockouts.
B
They believed that allowing women to work in factories would drive down wages.
C
They believed there were not enough jobs available for unskilled workers.
D
They believed it was unfair that factory owners were rich while workers barely had enough money to survive.

Explanation

In the late 1800s, many workers faced low wages and difficult working conditions while factory owners earned great wealth. Workers joined together in unions so they could bargain collectively for better pay and treatment. This matches the belief that it was unfair for owners to be rich while workers barely had enough to survive.
