During the Homestead Strike, Andrew Carnegie hired the Pinkerton Detective Agency to protect his steel plant and strikebreakers. He also brought in replacement workers to keep the plant operational. Additionally, Carnegie worked to discredit the striking workers and their union in the media and public opinion to maintain control over the situation.
The Homestead Act took place at Carnegie's homestead steel plant. The union workers of this plant were protesting because they had received a wage cut. Carnegie was usually kind to the union workers and never forced them to stop protesting. However, he was vacationing in Scotland on that fateful day in 1892. So the results of the strike were fatal. The Homestead Act ruined Andrew Carnegie's reputation of being a fair employer.
