1912 Boston streetcar strike
During the 1912 Boston streetcar strike, conductors and carmen (or "motormen") of streetcars for Boston Elevated Railway Company in Boston, Massachusetts, United States, went on a 53-day labor strike after the company retaliated against members of the labor union. The strikers demanded that the company recognize their union and provide better wages and working conditions. Ultimately, the strike ended after an arbitration settlement in favor of the union, and the company agreed to stop discriminating against union members.
