Why did Samuel Gompers found the American Federation of Labor in 1886? A. to promote the use of machines instead of workers in manufacturing B. to lobby for worker control of factories C. to negotiate for better working conditions and hours D. to increase factory profits

Sagot :

The answer is C. It was the most effective worker's union in the United States at the time, and was not as hostile as other unions, but it wasn't soft on big businesses either! It was quiet left-wing in its views, Socialist in fact. Most members were defectors from the Knights of Labor who were too militaristic for the common man to stomach.
Hope I helped!

The answer is C to negotiate for better working conditions and hours
