The Pullman Strike of 1894 was a significant labor uprising in the United States, initiated by workers at the Pullman Company in response to wage cuts and high rents in company-owned housing. The strike escalated to involve the American Railway Union, led by Eugene V. Debs, and disrupted rail traffic nationwide, notably affecting mail delivery. The federal government intervened by sending troops to break the strike, resulting in violence and several deaths. Ultimately, the strike highlighted the tensions between labor and management and led to greater public awareness of workers' rights issues.
