In the Homestead Strike, __________.

the union wanted to prevent Carnegie Steel from discouraging workers from joining a union
the Industrial Workers of the World demanded change in conditions for copper miners
the American Federation of Labor demanded an eight-hour workday for employees
President Grover Cleveland ordered federal troops to assist in ending the strike

B?

Yes, A,

In the Homestead Strike, the American Federation of Labor demanded an eight-hour workday for employees.

In the Homestead Strike, the correct answer is:

B. The union wanted to prevent Carnegie Steel from discouraging workers from joining a union.

To arrive at this answer, we can eliminate options C and D, as the demand for an eight-hour workday and the involvement of President Grover Cleveland are not relevant to the Homestead Strike.

To determine the correct option between A and B, we need to understand the context of the Homestead Strike. The strike occurred in 1892 and was a labor dispute between the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers and the Carnegie Steel Company. The workers' main concern was the company's attempt to break their union by implementing a lockout and reducing wages, which would discourage workers from joining or supporting the union. As a result, option A, which refers to preventing the company from discouraging union membership, correctly aligns with the cause of the Homestead Strike.

No.
