A watershed event in American labor history, the Pullman Strike of 1894 was conducted by workers in which industry?
Answer Railroad
Prompted by dramatic wage cuts during the economic depression known as the Panic of 1893, the Pullman Strike was a widespread protest by American railroad workers that brought the country's commercial activities to a screeching halt. The embittered standoff between labor and management came to an end when President Grover Cleveland sent federal troops to crush the strike. Their arrival in Chicago triggered a violent riot that resulted in dozens of civilian deaths.
