Answer 1

Some of the reasons the restaurant-worker labor unions felt threatened by the labor unions was B. 1 and 2 which are:

• 1. the increase of Chinese restaurants cropping up around the country
• 2 the fact that Chinese restaurant workers were not unionized

In the early 1900s, a Supreme Court decision allowed Chinese people to be freer when opening Chinese restaurants and this led to a massive increase in the number of Chinese restaurants around the country.

The workers in these restaurants were also often relatives which meant they were not unionized.

Both of these things threatened the labor unions as they feared the competition provided by the Chinese. They therefore came up with different ways to suppress the Chinese.

In conclusion, the labor unions were threatened by the increase in Chinese restaurants and their non-unionization.
