The theory that employees and managers could be equal was terminated. A union in the steel industry didn't exist for another 40 years while the private army known as the Pinkertons was outlawed some time later.

Primary cause of the strike were the technological improved system of material handling installed by the Carnegie Steel Company in 1886. That led to speed up the process of toolmaking by means of overhead cranes, charging machines, hoists and buggies, which allowed larger quantities of the products were being produced. Carnegie Steel was therefore managing to expand the factories and

hire more and more labor force mainly formed of less skilled workers. That way of hiring was not accepted by the more skilled senior workers, who reacted with a strike aimed to protect their professional and seniority position.
