In which of the following ways was the labor movement successful during the late 19th century? (A) organizing unions for skilled workers (B) gaining the right to bargain collectively (C) securing cost-of-living increases in wages (D) winning passage of laws regulating workplace safety

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think the answer is B.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

I think B is wrong. @happyrosy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why do you think it's wrong?

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Why do you think its correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because they used collective bargaining to successfully gain higher wages and shorter workdays.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

B is actually a good choice. But I though that they also organized unions.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

I think I would have to agree with you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah they organized unions but not only with skilled peoples but also with unskilled peoples and minorities such as women

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B wasn't the correct answer unfortunately. I think the correct answer is either C or D
