Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The roaring 20's, or the decade of economic prosperity that preceded the Great Depression, did not make industrial unionization attractive. In fact, during this time, the American Federation of Labor (AFL) focused on organizing craft unions rather than industrial unions. The Great Depression, on the other hand, provided a strong impetus for workers to unionize in order to improve their wages and working conditions. The passage of labor-friendly laws, such as the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) also provided legal protection for workers who wanted to unionize. Additionally, the emergence of rebel leaders within the AFL, such as John L. Lewis, who advocated for the creation of industrial unions, further fueled the momentum towards unionization in the 1930s.
