A '''strike''' was staged by the operators of Pensacola's [[Pensacola streetcar system|electric streetcar system]] from [[April 5]]–[[May 13]], [[1908]]. The workers struck as a result of disputes with their employer, the [[Pensacola Electric Company]]. The 39-day strike, which drew attention from national labor leaders and was reported on in the ''New York Times'', resulted in open violence on Pensacola's streets and the declaration of martial law. At the conclusion of the strike, at least one individual had died (with many more injured) , and the Pensacola Electric Company had suffered significant financial losses, though the company did manage to break the strike.
