Both governments had to navigate the complexities of sustaining public support while managing the realities of prolonged conflict.


How did the governmet respond to the threat from the sleeping-car porters union?

The government responded to the threat from the sleeping-car porters union, particularly the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, with a mix of repression and negotiation. During the 1920s and 1930s, federal and local authorities often sided with railroad companies, employing legal and sometimes violent measures to suppress strikes and union activities. However, as the union gained traction and public support grew, the government began to recognize the legitimacy of workers' rights, leading to more constructive dialogue and eventual legislative changes to improve labor conditions. Ultimately, the union's persistence contributed to significant advances in labor rights and recognition in the following decades.
