During the Red Scare, bosses exploited fears of communism and radicalism to undermine labor movements. They labeled striking workers and union leaders as "un-American" or associated with communist ideologies, which stigmatized their demands. This rhetoric facilitated the use of government intervention and violence to break strikes, while also enabling employers to strengthen anti-union sentiment among the public and within their own ranks. As a result, many unions faced significant challenges in organizing and advocating for workers' rights during this period.

How was the Sherman Antitrust Act used against unions?

The Sherman Antitrust Act was suppose to deal with large trust that held monopolies from various sections. The problem with the Sherman Antitrust Act was that it had actually used to attack unions. Unions fought the monopolies in order to gain more rights for the workers such as better living conditions, higher wages, 8 hour shifts, etc. The Sherman Act outlawed practices that are believed to be harmful to the consumers. Union strikes against railroads, coal, and other industries were stomped on because of this act. The monopolies convinced the American Government that the strikes imposed by the unions were "harmful" to the consumers. Therefore the Sherman Act was a double-edged sword that made the monopolies think more before they act (still the act didn't do that much) and it was used to bring down the unions that fought against the monopolies. The monopolies would be able to weaken unions; thus allowing them to reduce working conditions that allowed them to increase their profits.

Which method should be used to settle differences between unions and companies - binding arbitration or sit-down strikes?

Binding arbitration is generally the more effective method for settling differences between unions and companies, as it provides a structured and impartial resolution process. This approach ensures that both parties agree to abide by the arbitrator's decision, fostering a more collaborative environment. In contrast, sit-down strikes can lead to prolonged conflict and economic disruption, making it harder to reach a mutually beneficial agreement. Ultimately, binding arbitration promotes stability and encourages dialogue rather than confrontation.

What new tactic used by unions was highly successful?

The CIO had a unique tool, the sit-down strike. Instead of picketing a plant, CIO strikers closed it down from inside, taking the factory hostage and preventing management from operating with nonunion workers. This, together with the new reluctance of authorities, many of them Roosevelt Democrats, to act against labor, made sit-down strikes highly successful. .
