Strikes+(2-6)

__//**Homestead Strike 1892:**//__ The steel workers contract, tied to a sliding scale wage based on the price of 4x4 standard Bessemer steel billets expired on 1892. The union got a pay cut and Frick wouldn't negotiate with them, instead he negotiate with individual employees. The Employees refused to negotiate with the union so they shut it down and surrounded it with barbed wire. Workers had limited mobility and limited employment opportunities. They had the most terms of employment there so they fought for it. It was viewed as management fault. The view of the union was improved.
