The Railroad Strike.
In the late 1800s, several significant labor strikes occurred, notably the Great Railroad Strike of 1877, which was a nationwide protest against wage cuts and poor working conditions that led to violent clashes. The Haymarket Affair in 1886, which began as a peaceful rally for workers’ rights in Chicago, turned deadly when a bomb was thrown, resulting in widespread backlash against labor movements. Additionally, the Pullman Strike of 1894, initiated by railroad workers protesting wage cuts and high rents in company-owned housing, escalated into a national conflict that disrupted rail traffic and led to federal intervention. These strikes highlighted the growing tensions between labor and management during the industrialization of America.
