    The Pullman Strike and company-town labor controversy

    After wage cuts and unresolved worker grievances, a strike at Pullman's factories broadened into a national boycott of Pullman cars. The company resisted concessions and arbitration; federal injunctions and troop deployment contributed to deadly violence. George Pullman's labor and company-town policies drew substantial public criticism, and the episode became a defining controversy in U.S. labor history.
