Question

which of the following best describes Samuel Gompers's role in relation to the goals of organized labor?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is D. He was the first president of the largest labor organization in the world.

Explanation:

Samuel Gomper is one the key figures in American labor rights movements from the 19th century. His work began during a recession, where thousands of people in his city were unemployed and protesting.

He believed that each unemployed person was actually a consumer and if the Industrialists only kept on laying off people or not paying them well, it will eventually hit the pockets of the rich and degrade the economy further.

While he was a staunch anti-socialist, he did believe that proper labor representation would help in improving the lives of workers. As such, he worked to build the largest labor union in the world and was successful in improving wages and working conditions.
