During the major industrial strikes of the late 19th century, the federal government often intervened to suppress labor unrest. This intervention typically involved the use of federal troops to break strikes, as seen in notable events like the Pullman Strike of 1894. The government frequently sided with business interests, viewing labor actions as threats to public order and economic stability. Such actions highlighted the tensions between labor rights and government authority during this period.
The American Federation of Labor (AFL) did not frequently go on strike as an organization, but its member unions often engaged in strikes and labor actions to negotiate better wages, working conditions, and labor rights. The frequency of strikes varied depending on the economic climate and specific industries. Major strikes associated with the AFL occurred during periods of heightened labor activism, particularly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Overall, while strikes were a common tactic, they were not an everyday occurrence for the AFL itself.
