The Homestead Strike
of 1892 pitted the Carnegie Steel
Corporation, then the world's largest
manufacturing firm, against the Amalgamated
Association of Iron and Steel Workers, then one
of the largest unions in the country. |
The Pullman Strike of
1894 was the first national strike
in U.S. history. More than 150,000 persons were
involved, in 27 different states and territories.
And, for the first time in U.S. history, federal
troops were called in against the wishes of an
individual state. |
