The founder of the Pullman Car Workers is Randolph.
George Pullman's model town for his workers, Pullman, Illinois, was a mixed result. On one hand, it provided workers with well-built housing, amenities, and a sense of community. However, the town's strict regulations and Pullman's control over residents' lives led to dissatisfaction and resentment. Ultimately, the model town idea failed to address workers' needs for autonomy and fair labor practices, contributing to labor unrest and strikes.
The Pullman strike was caused by workers demanding for better wages and more safe working conditions. The effect of the Pullman strike was the federal court issuing a injunction (formal court order) directing the union to halt the boycott, the Pullman Strike then collapsed.

George Pullman was an American engineer and industrialist. He was most famous for the Pullman sleeping car and the founding of the town of Pullman, for the workers who manufactured the cars.
The Pullman workers had several grievances against George Pullman, primarily related to poor working conditions and wage cuts. After the economic downturn in 1893, Pullman reduced wages without lowering rents in the company town, leading to financial strain for workers. Additionally, they faced strict regulations and lacked a voice in workplace decisions, fueling discontent that ultimately led to the Pullman Strike of 1894. The workers sought better pay, improved living conditions, and the right to organize.
