Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The American Federation of Labor leadership became increasingly conservative and timid during the 1920s. This was due in part to the success of the labor movement during World War I, which gave workers better wages and working conditions, and reduced the need for unions to agitate for change. The AFL leadership saw no need to launch new campaigns for better wages and working conditions, and instead focused on protecting their gains and maintaining their membership. This conservative approach was also due to the rise of anti-union sentiment in the 1920s, as many employers and politicians sought to weaken the power of unions. The AFL leadership was more focused on maintaining their position than on challenging these forces.
