The Haymarket Affair of 1886 significantly weakened the power of unions in the United States. Following a peaceful rally advocating for an eight-hour workday, a bomb was thrown at police, resulting in violence and deaths. This incident led to a public backlash against labor organizations, which were increasingly associated with anarchism and violence, ultimately causing a decline in union membership and influence during that decade.
