Labor unions helped Chinese immigrants form their own unions.

Answer 1

Many US labor unions in the 1800s treated Chinese immigrants poorly, primarily not allowing them to become members. This was largely due to widespread racism and the perception that Chinese laborers were taking jobs from white workers. Unions often sought to exclude Chinese immigrants and, in some cases, actively campaigned against them to protect the interests of their white, native-born members. Thus, the most accurate statement from your options is:

**Labor unions did not allow Chinese immigrants to become members.**
