Question

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

Explanation:

Companies often hire replacement workers (scabs) to cross picket - lines during strikes to keep operations running and weaken the strike's impact. Forcing workers to sign non - strike contracts may be illegal in some cases. Asking supervisors to do the work has limitations in terms of supervisor numbers and their ability to perform all tasks. Offering a one - time sum may not address the root issues of the strike.

Answer:

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