Workers were upset during the homestead strike for a number of valid reasons. Their wages were cut, mills were closed, workers were locked out. Management treated the workers very poorly.

The workers were upset during the Homestead Strike because of a series of wage cuts and poor working conditions imposed by the management of the Carnegie Steel Company. They felt that their livelihoods were being threatened and that they were being treated unfairly by the company. Additionally, the hiring of Pinkerton detectives to act as strikebreakers further angered the workers and led to violent clashes between them and the Pinkerton agents.
