Answer 1

Answer:

Factory production can be stopped.

Factory owners will always negotiate

Working conditions can end up improving.

Strikes sometimes can turn violent.

Explanation:

Profits do not "always" rise, and in fact profits may even be threatened during a strike as productivity is affected. Police are also not guaranteed to always prohibit a strike, as in some scenarios it is a valid method of action to gain better wages and treatment from employers.

Answer 2

The four correct answers are-

• Workers can lose their jobs- this option is correct because when unions decide to strike, almost all workers join the strike and if their ask is too much to negotiate then the owner might fire them all and employ someone else as almost in most of the countries there is a problem of unemployment. An owner might not settle in for less when he or she can get a cheaper workforce.
• Factory production can be stopped- This option is also correct as when workers make unions and go on strike, their role remains undone and this poses a threat to the production process being halted for the time being.
• Working conditions can end up improving- If the wants of workers are fair and legitimate according to the owner then their working conditions may end up being improved as there might be a settlement between the owner and the workers.
• Strikes sometimes can turn violent- Violence is very common between workers and other people. There might be a clash of opinions which leads to physical and verbal abuse.
• The other options are not correct as police may not always prohibit the strike if the strike is legitimate then the police may not prohibit it. Also, these strikes may not always incur profits as they may rather be added up with losses and factory owners may not negotiate always, it's according to the wants and depends upon the owner's opinions.
