Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The 1930s and 1940s marked a significant increase in union membership due to the New Deal policies and the Wagner Act, which protected workers' right to collective bargaining. The Great Depression also led to widespread unemployment and poor working conditions, pushing more workers to join unions. While there were some increases in membership during the other decades, none were as significant as the 1930s and 1940s.
