What did the Pullman Company fail to lower in relation to the pay cut?

The Pullman Company failed to lower rent for its workers in the context of the pay cut. While the company reduced wages, it did not correspondingly decrease the rent for the company-owned housing where many of the workers lived. This created significant financial strain on the employees because they were still required to pay the same amount in rent despite earning less, leading to widespread dissatisfaction and social unrest. The failure to adjust rent in relation to the reduction in wages significantly contributed to the tensions that culminated in the Pullman Strike of 1894.
