Pullman porter in Chicago
As early as 1900, Porters started to rally and organize for better wages and treatment. Porters who worked on average 300-400 hours per month, were paid a fixed monthly wage that was not based on hours or length of trips.[1] They were also subjected to easy dismissal or termination based on minor issues, accusations or just minor irritation by mainly white passengers. Initial efforts were largely unsuccessful and also increased risk of retributory termination for attempting to unionize.[1]
