Labor Union is a stable and permanent association of both urban-industrial, rural and service workers, who come together from the realization and resolution of common problems and needs.
The answer is letter C): the constant threat of strikes by the men and women who worked in the factories.
Explanation:
When the United States entered into World War I, there was a surge in labor strikes: within 6 months, American workers went on strike over 3,000 times, and over 10,000 workers participated in at least 67 of the strikes. These levels of unprecedented and incessant strikes prompted the federal government to form and establish a close relationship between its ruling Democratic Party and the AFL leader, Samuel Gompers, who pledged that there would be no strikes during the war. Samuel Gompers, who was appointed to the Advisory Council on Labor (Council on National Defense), ensured that union representatives worked together with government agencies to prevent strikes.
The Treaty of San Ildefonso was an agreement between France and Spain where Spain gave back the colonial territory of Louisiana to France. It gave the French most of the Missisipi river, and new Orleans, which denied the U.S The Gulf of Mexico. I hope I could help! :D
