Answer 1

Answer:

Americans believed that unions were anti-communist, while the country supported communist ideals.

Explanation:

The 1920s marked a period of sharp decline for the labor movement. Union membership and activities fell sharply in the face of economic prosperity, a lack of leadership within the movement, and anti-union sentiments from both employers and the government. The unions were much less able to organize strikes.
