What labor unions were the most successful? what did they gain?

1 answer:

4 0

In the history of America's trade and labor unions, the most famous union remains the American Federation of Labor (AFL), founded in 1886 by Samuel Gompers. At its pinnacle, the AFL had approximately 1.4 million members.

Because the union did not attempt to organize unskilled workers, it made few gains among new workers during the 1920s, when much of the growth of the economy took place in mass-production industries such as automobiles, rubber, chemicals, and utilities.

Hope this helps! :)

natima [27]

Malcom X wanted people to go back to Africa or from a whole different country without white people in it. Martin Luther King on the other hand wanted non-violent protests to try to get rid of the awful segregation. King said this about malcom x's civil rights movements. "a bunch of thugs organized from prisons and jails and financed, I am sure, by some Arab group." They both wanted the same thing which was freedom but one wanted to integrate with white people, and the other one didn't.
