Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Business owners responded to the growth of unions and the labor movement by requiring workers to sign yellow dog contracts, which made workers promise not to join a union or participate in union activities. Blacklists were also created, which were lists of workers who were suspected of being involved in union activities and who were then denied employment by multiple companies. These tactics were used to prevent the spread of unions and the labor movement.
