Hotel Strikes in Chicago, 1900s

Hotel Strikes in Chicago, 1900s

Hotels, Fine Dining, United States, Early 20th century

Repast: Dining Out at the Dawn of the New American Century, 1900-1910 focuses mainly on restaurants in the United States, and not hotels, but in the footnotes to one of the chapters, the strikes of the 1890s to the 1900s are mentioned as spreading from New York to Pennsylvania and Chicago. The footnote states that those workers that decided to strike were immediately fired from their positions, and none of these strikes lasted a long time or had positive consequences for the employees
