Answer 1

The correct answer is **C**: Employers believed union employees demanded high wages and would raise production costs.

Many factory owners were concerned that hiring union workers would lead to increased labor costs due to the higher wages and benefits that unions often negotiated. This reluctance to hire union employees was part of a broader resistance to unionization during certain periods of industrial history, where employers sought to maintain lower production costs and maximize profits.
