Explanation:

In the late 1800s, labor unions faced issues like employers hiring strike - breakers (scabs), government intervention with troops to end strikes, and an abundance of cheap labor. Contracts guaranteeing safety and union membership would be a benefit for workers and unions, not a difficulty.

C. Workers signed contracts that guaranteed safety and membership in the Union.
