Final answer:
The representatives for the AFL-CIO convention are chosen in relation to the size of the union local but not in direct proportion.
correct answer is C
Step-by-step explanation:
The subject of this question is Social Studies. The question is asking about the representative selection process for the AFL-CIO convention, which is a labor union federation. The options provided are: a) every union local gets only one vote, b) direct proportion to the size of the union local, c) in relation to size of the union local but not in direct proportion, d) seniority within the union, e) by degree of skill. To determine the correct answer, we need to refer to the given information about the AFL-CIO.
The AFL-CIO is a federation of independent unions and represents more than 10 million workers who belong to over fifty different unions. The unions within the AFL-CIO have various sizes, so it is not likely that each union local would get only one vote, option a. Additionally, since the unions within the AFL-CIO are independent, it is unlikely that the representative selection would be based on seniority or skill, options d and e.
The most reasonable option would be c, where the size of the union local is considered, but not necessarily in direct proportion.
Therefore, the correct answer is option c: In relation to size of the union local but not in direct proportion.
correct answer is C
