Overview
The Pullman Company, owned by George Pullman, manufactured
railroad cars, and by 1894 it operated "first class" sleeping cars on
almost every one of the nation's major railroads. The name Pullman was a
household word. During the late
19th and early 20th centuries, Americans witnessed many strikes. Their
causes varied. One strike in particular, the Pullman strike of 1894, affected rail
transportation nationwide, essentially bringing American business to a
halt.
Workers
resented not only their cut in wages,
but management's intrusiveness into their personal lives. The federal
government had to get involved, with
federal troops being sent out to open
railroads. This strike shaped national labor policy in the United
States during a period of deep economic depression.
