Answer:
Craft Unions like those led by Samuel Gompers believed in the organization of labourers according to their specific function for a better protection of the interests and rights of the 'weaker' groups.
Explanation:
Craft Unions emerged from Trade Unions as a specific group of workers belonging to the same trade. This means that they were grouped and organized according to ther specific work function or skill within an industry or workplace. For example, in the 'building trade' (general), there are many subdivisions, called craft unions, such as the carpenters' trade or the plumbers' trade. Samuel Gompers was the first president of the American Federation of Labor (AFL) and he advocated craft unions, which contrasted with the 'one big union' philosophy. Something that was true about these unions was that they often prevented the formation of Industrial Unions (all the workers belong to the same trade) because they believed the interests of the smaller groups would be affected or not taken into account.
