What did the homestead strike how?

The Homestead Strike of 1892 was a significant labor dispute between the Carnegie Steel Company and its workers at the Homestead, Pennsylvania steel mill. It began when the company, seeking to cut wages, locked out workers and hired private security to protect strikebreakers. The conflict escalated into violence when strikers clashed with armed guards, resulting in several deaths and injuries. Ultimately, the strike ended in defeat for the union, weakening the labor movement in the steel industry for years to come.
