The #PullmanStrike on #ThisDayInHistory in 1894 cleverly refused to touch Pullman cars but stayed at work for other cars. Companies shut down the trains, not the #ARU #union. Pres. Cleveland sent in troops to get the mail moving, but of course sided with railroads, not workers.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1894, the #PullmanStrike turned into a boycott. The #AFL refused to honour calls for a #GeneralStrike in support of #EugeneDebs's #ARU and Democratic President Cleveland used force and troops to put #railroads back into operation. #Solidarity matters.
#OTD 1894: Railroad workers for the Pullman Palace Car Company went on strike, and the protest continued for several months until the federal government intervened. https://t.co/v0IyOwuFj3 #LaborHistory #PullmanStrike
On #ThisDayInHistory in 1894 the #PullmanStrike began. Led by #EugeneDebs, strikers faced violent opposition from federal troops and mercenary thugs, growing angry enough to burn shit down. Government always stands with #capital over #labour -- without a #union we have no voice.
The Pullman Strike of 1894. Chicago labor history.

Why is this Labor Day different from all other (nations') Labor Days?
Because our government chose it to distract from May Day (May 1—International Workers' Day), and appease workers after the US Army murdered 30 in the #PullmanStrike led by Eugene V. Debs

On this day in 1894 the landmark #PullmanStrike began, following a 28% pay cut. #EugeneDebs and his union faced off against not only the company, but president Grover Cleveland and the government (which backed the bosses), and Debs went to prison.

1/2: Today in history: In 1894, Pres. Cleveland sent troops to #Chicago to crush the #PullmanStrike. Pullman Co. had severely cut wages, increased living expenses, and fired employees. #EugeneVDebs and the American Railway Union backed the strike. https://t.co/QJm6rQksas

Altgeld was the first #Democrat to govern the state since the 1850s. A leading figure of the #ProgressiveMovement, he signed #WorkplaceSafety and #ChildLabor laws, pardoned 3 of the men convicted in the #HaymarketAffair, & rejected calls to break up the #PullmanStrike by force.
