Explanation
Answer: A - By the 1980s, the Democratic Party was generally associated with organized labor, while the Republican Party was not. Union enrollment in the private sector was on the decline, while public sector laborers were likely to be unionized. The contemporary Republican Party platform generally includes support for right-to-work legislation, placing more limitations on unions rather than limitations on employers.
