In the late 1800s, why might a potential new factory employee refuse to sign a yellow-dog contract?
because yellow-dog contracts required an employee and his family to live in a company town
because yellow-dog contracts required employees to report back to employers with any information regarding labor union organization
because signing a yellow-dog contact labeled an employee as a scab and made him or her a potential target of union violence
because promising not to join a union would strip the employee of his ability to protest workplace injustices with the support of an organized workers’ group

The correct answer is D) because promising not to join a union would strip the employee of his ability to protest workplace injustices with the support of an organized workers’ group.

In the late 1800s, a potential new factory employee might refuse to sign a yellow-dog contract because promising not to join a union would strip the employee of his ability to protest workplace injustices with the support of an organized workers’ group.

Workers and unions had to work diligently in order to gain some rights. In the late 1800s, workers earned low wages in factories, worked long hours and under poor health conditions. To make things worse they had to accept a yellow-dog contract,  that was the oath or agreement that the worker had to do in order to get a job. This agreement forced the worker to not to participate in any labor union. Employers did not want any strikes in their companies. The US government prohibited these kinds of contracts in 1932.
