The true statement about how World War I affected working conditions in the United States is:

• The federal government agreed to support labor unions in return for a no-strike promise from unions.

During World War I, the U.S. government sought to maintain production levels for the war effort, which led to an agreement with labor unions to prevent strikes in exchange for the government's support of their rights and labor negotiations.
