Question

1. which characteristic of the american federation of labor might make it more appealing to workers with families? (5 points

their approach to labor issues was radical.
uriah stephens was an excellent leader.
they were unafraid to use strikes to make gains.
striking workers received benefits and support.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• The first option is incorrect because the American Federation of Labor (AFL) had a more conservative, not radical, approach to labor issues.
• The second option is incorrect as Uriah Stephens was the leader of the Knights of Labor, not the AFL.
• The third option is incorrect because while the AFL did use strikes, the key factor for workers with families would be support during strikes, not just the willingness to strike.
• The fourth option is correct. For workers with families, having benefits and support during strikes (when they might lose income) would be very appealing as it helps them sustain their families during labor actions.

Answer:

D. Striking workers received benefits and support.
