Question 8 • US History

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

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

Explanation

Companies sometimes hired replacement workers, known as scabs, to keep work going during a strike and weaken the union’s bargaining power. Firing all workers or hiring the military were not the typical tactic described here, and arbitration is a process for resolving disputes rather than a way to hurt unions.
