workingclasshistory:

On this day, 11 May 1894, the Pullman railroad strike began in Chicago following the firing of three workers the previous day. Called by Eugene Debs’ American Railroad Union, it was the biggest strike in US history to date, it was only eventually broken by federal government troops and by the killing of at least 24 strikers.
This book tells its story, and that of other mass strikes in the country: https://shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/books/products/strike-jeremy-brecher https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1423071464544666/?type=3
