Coeur d'Alene, Idaho labor strike of 1892
The Coeur d'Alene, Idaho labor strike of 1892 erupted in violence when labor union miners discovered they had been infiltrated by a Pinkerton agent who had routinely provided union information to the mine owners. The response to that violence, disastrous for the local miners' union, became the primary motivation for the formation of the Western Federation of Miners (WFM) the following year. There were two related incidents between miners and mine owners in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, United States: the labor strike of 1892, and the labor confrontation of 1899.
