Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Some unions, like the Knights of Labor, tried accommodation and worked on getting new laws passed. Most other unions continued using strikes. Unions were not successful because they did not have enough members, legislators would not pass effective laws, and the courts supported the business owners.
