Its May Day and a time to reflect on the progression of events which lead to the Pullman Strike of 1894. 120 years ago today, on May 1, 1894, a strike against the Great Northern Railroad, which was begun in April, 1894, was successfully terminated with concessions by the Railroad in response to the representation of the American Railway Union. This was the first successful representation of railroad workers by the year old ARU labor organization.
