Description

The Gilded Age saw several major labor strikes, most of which ended violently. The Pullman Strike of 1893 was one of the most severe. This document, written in favor of the workers and their grievances, outlines the background of the strike and the events of the strike itself. Pullman’s image as a benevolent employer would never be the same again because of this event.
