Описание:

The Homestead Strike of 1892 was a violent labor conflict at the Carnegie Steel Company's Homestead Steel Works in Pennsylvania, where a fierce battle broke out between striking steelworkers and private security agents hired by the company. The strike was a response to wage cuts and the company's hard-line stance against union representation, and it ended in defeat for the steelworkers' union, significantly weakening labor unions in the steel industry for years to come.
