question 219

True/False

Abraham was an unskilled worker who toiled 10 hours a day on an assembly line during the early and mid-1930s. His hours were long, his wages were low, and his working conditions were unsafe and unpleasant. Abraham would probably have been more sympathetic to the views of John L. Lewis than to those of Samuel Gompers.
