Union members and strikers in the labor movement included notable figures such as Samuel Gompers, founder of the American Federation of Labor (AFL), and Eugene V. Debs, a key leader in the American Railway Union and a prominent socialist. Other significant strikers included the workers involved in the Pullman Strike of 1894, such as the railway workers led by Debs, and those from the 1912 Lawrence Textile Strike, known as the "Bread and Roses" strike, which included diverse immigrant workers. These individuals and their actions played critical roles in advocating for workers' rights and improving labor conditions.
