The measure that was used against the Unions was the Sherman Anti-Trust Act
The Sherman Anti-Trust Act was:
- passed in 1890
- prohibited any organized attempt by an organization to reduce business competition
- made monopolies illegal
As the Unions began to grow strong towards the late 1800s and the early 1900s, the federal government became quite concerned and decided to use the Sherman Anti-Trust Act against the Unions by claiming that Unions were limiting competition by banding together to work against businesses.
In conclusion, the Sherman Anti-trust Act was created to go against unfair business practices and was then used to go against organizations like unions who were protesting those same unfair practices.
