Well-fare capitalism was engaged in by industrialists during the 1920s, to prevent workers from unionizing. Under well-fare capitalism factory owners would pay workers well, provide them benefits and some would even provide profit-sharing incentives so workers would have a stake in the success of the company. They would also organize summer picnics for the families of workers to attend, keep them content which would prevent them from wanting to unionize. It allowed the management to maintain enough control over the workers they employed. Which is the main reason why during the 1920s there was a drop in unionized workers.
