16. What is implied when we say unions became politically powerful because so many workers were unionized? (FDR's New Deal 1933-1936)
As the New Deal helped unions grow, unions decided to support federal programs.
Unions told their members who to vote for or encouraged them to vote a certain way.
As more workers joined unions, those workers became more politically active than ever before.
The competition between the AFL and the CIO led to government regulation of unions.
