Question

which strategy did companies use to stop strikes from growing? they asked supervisors to do the work of the people on strike. they hired workers to cross the picket line if a group of workers went on strike. they forced workers to sign contracts promising they would not strike. they offered workers a sum of money to stop striking.

Explanation:

Companies often hired workers to cross picket - lines during strikes to keep operations going and undermine the strikers' power, thus preventing strikes from growing. Asking supervisors to do the work may not be sufficient in large - scale strikes. Forcing workers to sign non - strike contracts is often illegal and difficult to enforce in the face of labor rights movements. Offering money to stop striking is a less common and often ineffective long - term strategy compared to hiring strikebreakers.

Answer:

They hired workers to cross the picket line if a group of workers went on strike.
