Question

Read the quotation from Theodore Rhodie, a former Pullman employee.

“I do not like to walk up there and hand up my membership in the American Railway Union because when a man asks me to give up my principles, my rights as an American citizen, he might just as well ask for my life.”
To which result of the Pullman strike is Theodore Rhodie referring?

Answer 1

Theodore Rhodie was referring to the company's rehiring of the withdrawn workers who had left the union.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the history of the workers union protests, the Pullman strike of 1894 was one of the famous ones. The strike of the railroad workers led to a disruption of the rail traffic in the US Midwest.

The given quote from former Pullman worker Theodore Rhodie concerns the strike when the company cut the pay of the workers while also extending or increasing their working hours. Workers protested, leading to the union members resigning from the union. But then, the strike led the company to rehire the workers who withdrew from the union. It was this act of rehiring that Rhodie was referring to.
