CLEP US History II

Category - Labor

In the 1930s, as union involvement increased, the organized labor movement was split between organizing workers through craft unionism and:
  1. Diversified unionism.
  2. Autonomism.
  3. Workerism.
  4. Guilds.
  5. Industrial unionism.
Explanation
Answer: E - As union enrollment gained momentum in the 1930s following the National Industry Recovery Act of 1933, there was division among labor activists as to how unions should be organized-through craft unionism or industrial unionism. In craft unionism, workers organize based on their craft, such as carpentry or coal miners. In industrial unionism, workers organize based on the industry in which they work. For example, carpenters are part of homebuilders’ unions; railroad operators are part of railway unions that also include the factory workers who build railroad-car components.
