1 jan 1902 ano - 1902 - The Anthracite Coal Strike sought an eight-hour workday, higher wages, and the recognition of a union. For the first time, the federal government under Teddy Roosevelt was a neutral arbitrator, and after threatening to nationalize the industry, strikers received a 10% wage increase and a reduction in hours from 10 to 9. The union was not recognized. This represented a changing attitude toward unions in the progressive era.
