  • English: The Scranton General Strike refers to widespread work stoppages in August 1877 by workers in Scranton, Pennsylvania, from a variety of industries. These actions were related to the Great Railroad Strike of 1877, where actions had already taken place in other industrial cities of the state, sometimes expanding to workers in other industries as general strikes.
