Chapters
From the Great Railroad Strike of 1877 to the Flint sit-down strike of 1936, labor actions have dramatically impacted American history. These strikes often involved violence and clashes with authorities, leading to significant legislation like the Wagner Act and the Taft-Hartley Act, which aimed to balance the power between labor and employers.
  • The Great Railroad Strike of 1877 marked the first major strike in US history.
  • The Pullman Strike of 1894 led to the establishment of Labor Day.
  • The Flint sit-down strike resulted in GM recognizing the UAW.
  • The Wagner Act empowered unions but also contributed to the decline of the American auto industry.
  • The Taft-Hartley Act restricted union activities and allowed states to pass right-to-work laws.
