The first attempt to organize labor in the US was the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions. It organized workers in 5 cities in 1834.
The first known labor strike in recorded history occurred in ancient Egypt during reign of Pharaoh Ramesses III.
A sanctioned strike is a legal work stoppage organized by a labor union within the parameters of labor laws and regulations. It typically occurs after attempts at negotiation with an employer have failed, and permission or approval for the strike has been obtained from the relevant labor relations board or authority.
The first organized strike was the 1972 MLB strike. It lasted for 13 days (April 1 - April 13). The strike was over pension benefits and salary arbitration and when the owners agreed on an increase to the pension fund and to allow arbitration, the strike ended.
The federal government responded to the Pullman Strike by using federal troops to control the striking workers. Later, Labor Day was designated as an official holiday in an effort to conciliate the organized labor movement.
