How did living in company towns make union membership more difficult for workers?
bekas [8.4K]

I believe the answer is: Because company stores didn't sell goods to workers who were in a union

And the working sites usually located far away from the metropolitan area (such as on top of the mountain or in the middle of the desert). This provide the workers with no other choice but to leave the union if they want to be a part of the work forces and live in company towns.

Cognitive dissonance, is a term used in psychology that explains the feeling of discomfort by a person who is facing two situations that contradict each other.  

An example used to explain it, is the story of the fox who very much wants to eat a bunch of grapes that is in a very high place. As the Fox can not find a way to reach it, she gives up using the excuse that the grapes are green and bitter.

To alleviate cognitive dissonance, one can:

1- Change the behavior to relieve the situation of discomfort.

2- Try to justify the discomfort with new ideas

3- Justify the discomfort.
