Question

George, an unskilled worker in the 1930s, toiled 10 hours a day on an assembly line. His hours were long, his wages were low, and his working conditions were unsafe and unpleasant. George would probably have been more sympathetic to the views of John L. Lewis than to those of Samuel Gompers.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

Answer: True

Step-by-step explanation:

The main reason that can be attributed to AFL not recognizing CIO when it was still growing was due to the fact that there was a disagreement over the inclusion of craft unions and industrial unions in the AFL which Samuel Gompers was the leader and membership were only to skilled workers.

Later, John Lewis, whom was the president of United Mine Workers, made a proposal stating that unskilled workers should be included in the industrial unions and this was rejected which led to Lewis breaking with AFL and then went to form CIO.
