___________________________________________________

The Pullman strike was a strike against the Pullman company. The Pullman Company was a railroad company during the time period. The reason why the workers went on strike is because the Pullman company decided to cut off 25% of the workers income and kept the prices of the workers rents the same, which means that the workers didn't have enough money to help themselves. During the strike, people destroyed homes, factories, and stop working. Because of the strike, the company had to sell all of the residential homes for the workers and had property damages of 80 million dollars. If the Pullman Company just payed their workers, they wouldn't have lost so much money. They lost more money because of property damages, and could've had more money if they payed their workers.
