Question

how effective were labor unions in accomplishing the goals of organization, striking, and bargaining in achieving workers rights?
¿qué tan efectivas fueron las uniones laborales para lograr la organización, las huelgas y la negociación en la obtención de los derechos de los trabajadores?

○ they were not effective because workers made advances only by using violent protests and rarely gained union demands

○ despite early setbacks, they were very effective because union workers gained respect, rights, and the support of powerful individuals

○ they were not effective because the rights gained were limited to white men and prevented advancement for women and minorities

○ despite early setbacks, workers gained rights only when president theodore roosevelt intervened to assist striking workers and management

Explanation:

Labor unions faced early resistance and setbacks, but over time, their organizing, striking, and collective bargaining efforts led to significant gains for workers. These included improved working conditions, fairer wages, legal protections, and broader societal respect, along with support from influential figures and policymakers. The other options are incorrect: workers did not rely solely on violent protests, gains were not exclusive to white men (though equity gaps existed), and rights were not only secured via Theodore Roosevelt's intervention.

Answer:

B. Despite early setbacks, they were very effective because union workers gained respect, rights, and the support of powerful individuals
