Which statements describe the effects of the labor movement in North Carolina? Check all that apply.

B. Workers frequently abandoned strikes when they faced financial difficulties. F. The movement contributed to the establishment of the Textile Workers Union of America. The "Loray Mill strike" is a significant event in U.S. labor union history, which happened in North Carolina. Its purpose was to secure improved pay and labor conditions in response to the management's "stretch-out system" that had raised the workload while reducing wages. Although the strike lasted several months, it ultimately did not succeed, which renders options A, C, and E incorrect. Nevertheless, this movement laid the groundwork for forming the Textile Workers Union of America aiming to secure fair compensation and labor rights for textile workers, especially after the United Textile Workers of America collapsed in the North. Consequently, option F is accurate. During the "Textile Strike of 1934," union membership surged as local organizations emerged to tackle various issues, making option D wrong. One reason for the failure of many labor strikes was that workers often quit strikes due to running out of funds, highlighting a lack of support that frequently led them to return to their jobs amidst protests. Thus, option B is correct as well.
