anonymous · Answer

The correct answer should be B.
Labor unions gave factory workers a voice and often advocated for better working conditions and pay.

Answer A is not true, that was not among the primary goals of labor unions.

Answer C is not necessarily true because the labor unions were often what caused the disputes to occur between the workers and the businesses in the first place. Corporations often attempted to ban labor unions because they knew the unions would stir up unrest.
