The workers were motivated to organize the pullman strike because the company cut their wages.
Pullman strike was resultant of reducing in compensation and terminating workers in response to a preferred currency collapse. An average pay cut was 33 percent. But on occasion, it increases to between 40% and 50%. The workforce's wage had already been reduced without the subsequent rent discounts.
The fact that the employee compensation was cut while the rent remained the same was the main reason for the Pullman strike. Beginning on May 11 of the same year, 1894, it was virtually an all-out railroad strike in the United States. As a gesture of goodwill toward the American labor movement in the midst of the crisis, President Grover Cleveland and Congress established Labor Day as a public holiday on June 28.
