Answer:
The Knights of Labor was an organization that was inclusive of skilled and non-skilled workers.
Step-by-step explanation:
Knights of Labor was the first national labor organization of importance in the United States. Its official name is the Noble and Holy Order of the Knights of Labor. It was active especially in the 1880s, as the industrial revolution grew with the help of railroad expansion in the United States. Uriah Smith Stephens was the founded and part of its appeal was that it was a secret organization. It protected members from their employers as it lobbied for improved labor conditions although they dropped the anonymity aspect in 1879. The organization was based on a belief in the common interests in all kinds of labor like shopkeepers, factory workers, and farmers. The KOL envisioned a system of worker cooperatives. The organization reached its peak membership of 700 000 in 1886. The KOL began to lose influence as massive strikes broke out in many cities in the United States like the Haymarket Riot in Chicago and there was a backlash against unionism.
