Pullman Strike
A shantytown on the lakefront in Chicago during the Pullman Strike and general economic downturn of 1893β94.
When the Pullman Company reopened on August 2, 1894, following the Pullman Strike, it agreed to rehire the striking workers only on the condition that they sign a pledge never to join a union. This practice of requiring employees to agree not to join a labor organization as a condition of employment is known as a yellow-dog contract.12
