Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The period between 1935 and 1945 saw the largest growth in unionization in the United States, thanks to the passage of the National Labor Relations Act in 1935, which guaranteed workers the right to form and join unions. This led to a surge in union membership and organizing efforts, particularly in industries such as manufacturing and transportation. Between 1935 and 1945, the overall unionization rate in the United States almost tripled, from around 10% to 30%.
