Does a company make more money when it pays it employees more or less? Do union workers get paid more than non- union workers? Do you think Business leaders liked Unions?

Organized Labor Corporations opposed industrial unions which united all workers of an industry. The American Federation of Labor (AFL) became one of the first large unions. Unions wanted closed shops where the company could only hire union members.
