D. Employers required workers to negotiate as a group

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. Workers had more negotiating power when standing together as a group rather they had individually. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The correct answer is the third (C).

Workers prefer to engage in organized groups, called unions, to negotiate with an employer. This is because a collective of workers is expected to have greater bargaining power with the boss to deal with benefits and better working conditions than if each worker trades individually.
