What did Andrew Carnegie do because of the homestead strike?
The Homestead Strike was a labor strike that occurred at the Carnegie Steel Company's Homestead Steel Works in Homestead, Pennsylvania in 1892. It was one of the most violent and controversial labor strikes in American history. During the strike, Andrew Carnegie, the owner of Carnegie Steel, was not physically present at the Homestead Steel Works. However, he was heavily involved in the decision-making process and ultimately played a significant role in the outcome of the strike. One of the main causes of the strike was the decision by Carnegie Steel to reduce wages and increase production at the Homestead Steel Works. The workers, who were represented by the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers, resisted these changes and demanded better working conditions and higher pay. In response to the strike, Carnegie Steel hired private security guards to protect the plant and keep the workers out. The strike turned violent when the guards and the striking workers clashed, resulting in several deaths and injuries. Ultimately, the strike was broken by Carnegie Steel and the workers were forced to accept the company's terms. The strike had a lasting impact on labor relations in the United States and was a major factor in the rise of the labor movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
