Unit 7 – Conflict in the Early 20th Century, 1890–1945
Topic 7.9
What if labor strikes hadn't proliferated during the Great Depression, how might this have affected worker rights?
Worker rights could still improve at a similar pace through legislative action alone.
Strikes could cause employers to reduce hiring leading to higher unemployment rates which actually hurt worker rights more than they helped them.
Worker rights and protections may not have advanced as quickly without widespread labor activism forcing changes.
Labor conditions might worsen due to unchecked employer power.
