History

Alekssandra [29.7K]3 years ago

The Gilded Age was an era of rapid economic growth, especially in the North and West. As American wages were much higher than those in Europe, especially for skilled workers, the period saw an influx of millions of European immigrants. The rapid expansion of industrialization led to real wage growth of 60% between 1860 and 1890, spread across the ever-increasing labour force. The average annual wage per industrial worker (including men, women and children) rose from $380 in 1880 to $564 in 1890, a gain of 48%. However, the Gilded Age was also an era of abject poverty and inequality as millions of immigrants—many from impoverished European nations—poured into the United States, and the high concentration of wealth became more visible and contentious

What tactic used by unions involved workers refusing to work until their demands are met?
scoray [572]

Answer:

The tactic used by unions where workers refuse to work until their demands are met is called a strike.

Explanation:

A large union might call a strike in order to leverage better working conditions for union members, like a teachers' strike or air traffic controllers' strike. Organizations might also call a general strike when many union and nonunion people might decide to forego work and other activities in support of a change or to protest an issue. One of the largest historical examples in the United States is the Pullman Strike, which took place in 1894. From May to July of that year some 250,000-factory workers walked off the job at the Pullman Palace Car Company in Chicago to protest long workdays and reduced wages. The American Railway Union joined forces with the strikers and refused to work on or run any trains that were transporting Pullman products.
