The Burlington railroad strike of 1888 was a failed union strike which pitted the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers (B of LE), the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen (B of LF), and the Switchmen's Mutual Aid Association (SMAA) against the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad (CB&Q) its extensive trackage in the Midwestern United States. It was led by the skilled engineers and firemen, who demanded higher wages, seniority rights, and grievance procedures. It was fought bitterly by management, which rejected the very notion of collective bargaining. There was much less violence than the Great Railroad Strike of 1877, but after 10 months the very expensive company operation to permanently replace all the strikers was successful and the strike was a total defeat for them.

  • Берлингтонская железнодорожная стачка — одна из крупнейших стачек в истории США, в ходе которой профсоюзы «Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers», «Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen» и «Switchmen's Mutual Aid Association» выступили против железнодорожной компании . Стачку возглавляли квалифицированные машинисты и кочегары, которые требовали повышения зарплат, права на выслугу лет и процедуры рассмотрения жалоб, что встретило яростное сопротивление со стороны управления компании, поскольку сама идея коллективных переговоров их не устраивала. Во время этой стачки было порядком меньше яростных столкновений, чем во время , однако руководству компании удалось заменить штат сотрудников штрейкбрехерами. (ru)
