The Pullman Strike began in May 1894 when workers at the Pullman Company in Chicago went on strike to protest wage cuts and high rents in company-owned housing. The American Railway Union, led by Eugene V. Debs, supported the strike by refusing to handle trains that carried Pullman cars, which disrupted rail traffic nationwide. The federal government intervened, dispatching troops to break the strike, leading to violent clashes and several deaths. The strike effectively ended in July 1894 after the intervention, with the union's defeat marking a significant setback for labor movements at the time.

The first "labor unions" were Guild organizations and were very narrow in scope and dealt with only one type of craft activity. The first American labor unions dated from before 1800. The first was founded in 1794 in Philadelphia, by a group of shoemakers and called the Federal Society of Journeymen Cordwainers (shoemakers). In 1866 William Sylvis organized the National Labor Union and worked to organize workers in many different states and of different occupations. In 1869, a group of tailors, led by Uriah P. Stephens, formed the Noble and Holy Order of the Knights of Labor. In 1866, a union was organized that was composed of several associations of skilled workers. This union came to be called the American Federation of Labor, and held many successful strikes under the leadership of Samuel Gompers.
