Part A: Working hours changed from around 14 hours a day before the 1880's to being reduced slowly down to 12, then 10, eventually moving to an 8 hour day. This change allowed for workers to to have more time to sleep and for leisure. Another change was the end of child labor. Similar to the decrease in hours, the minimum age increased over time as well moving from 10 to 16.

Part B: One strategy used by unions to achieve these goals were strikes. Workers would leave the job and picket outside of a job which shut down operations. This tactic did not work at first because there were plenty of workers to fill the jobs. However, when immigration slowed the tactic had more impact with no people to fill the jobs. Some strikes were so large they brought the attention of police forces and the government.

What did President Clinton believe would be a result of the North American Free Trade Agreement? increased jobs and lower prices
miv72 [106K]

increased jobs and lower prices

Clinton signed the North American Free Trade Agreement in 1994 to remove the barriers to trade with Mexico and Canada with the goal of creating new American jobs and lower prices on imported goods.

During the late 1970's and through the 1980's the US began to de-industrialize. This means factories began to shut down as companies were established in developing countries. Americans were experiencing job loss and prices on goods now produced in other countries were expensive due to tariffs. By signing NAFTA, Clinton removed tariffs from goods imported from Canada and Mexico making many manufactured goods and foods cheaper. The agreement also created more jobs in new industries to support the imports coming in. Customer service based jobs became available which were better paying jobs than the factory jobs they were replacing.
