True
it was involved in a number of violent strikes
At the beginning of the labor movement, strikes were often spontaneous and unorganized, primarily driven by workers' immediate grievances over wages, working conditions, and hours. Strikers faced significant risks, including retaliation from employers, legal repercussions, and violence from law enforcement. These early strikes typically lacked the support of formal unions, which were still in their infancy, making it challenging for workers to achieve lasting change. Despite these obstacles, such actions laid the groundwork for the development of organized labor and more structured collective bargaining efforts.
False, labor unions had nothing to do with the Great Railroad Strikes. These strikes were carried out because of cuts in wages as well as poor working conditions. TheÊ strikes eventually led to the creation of unions.
Strikes were often broken by business owners and the government.
May lose it as early as one to two weeks before the signs of true labor appear or just as labor itself is beginning.
true
Companies maintained their own "police" who they called to stop protests and threatened strikes. Strikes were typically violent, with beatings, shooting, injuries and deaths. Men who went on strike faced having their families thrown out of "company housing". Coal Police put wives and children into the street, with no where to go. Men lost their jobs-- the strikers had no protection to keep their jobs. Unions, started in SW Pennsylvania in both coal, steel, and glass factories, tried to bargain for their members but were often met with violence anyway.
