As part of the requirements for the Labor-Management Process course, a topic has been assigned in class to develop in a research paper. During paper, I will briefly discuss the Pullman Strike of 1894, the most important recorded event of U.S. labor history in the 1900s. This event marked the labor movement in history and from it developing laws in which protected workers.
The Pullman Strike was led by Pullman workers and Eugene V. Debs, leader of the American Railway Union, which represented workers on the issue. The movement was triggered by George Pullman and his company, Pullman Palace Car Company, when he denied to lower the workers housing bill due to economic hardship the company underwent from the industrial and economical depression.
