Answer 1

Answer:

Blacklisted workers were viewed as troublesome, untrustworthy, and even dangerous by other employers.

Explanation:

The Pullman Strike was a nationwide railroad strike in the United States that begun on  May 11 and lasted up to July 20, 1894. It marked a turning point for US labour law. It pitted the American Railway Union (ARU) against the main railroads, the Pullman Company, and the federal government of the United States.

The Pullman company lowered wages and laid off workers. They did not lower the rents and this prompted the workers to call a strike. The workers were not allowed to buy and own houses.

A total of thirty workers were killed in the strike.
