12 ottob 1877 anni - Rail Road Strike (1877) A nationwide, coordinated strike of rail workers in 1877 shut down twothirds of the nation's railroads. Violence stemming from the strike took the lives of one hundred people and resulted in ten million dollars' worth of property damage. Nevertheless, big business prevailed in its disputes with workers during the nineteenth century, often with support from federal or state governments.
