Respuesta :
Their power would be fractured because membership was split.
If both unions had survived into the 20th century, their power would be fractured because membership was split.
You included no options but you are probably referring to the Knights of Labor and the American Federation of Labor.
The Knights of Labor and the American Labor Federation(ALF) were two of the most influential unions in the United States from the late 1800s.
The Knights of Labor however, stopped being important before the 20th century because:
- they lost members to the ALF
- they were inefficient
- they had a weak organizational structure
To conclude, historians have noted that it was a good thing that both of them did not make it into the 20th century as they had members who were split on key issues such as racism and so having only one organization survive, allowed for better labor representation.
