Homestead and Pullman strikes?

Question

What happened during the Homestead and Pullman strikes? What do these strikes tell you about worker-boss relations at the end of the nineteenth century?

Answer 1

Both were marked by violent clashes between strikers, scabs, and the security hired by companies. Thus, conditions were very bad. In both cases, the government was forced to intervene--in the Pullman case, on the bosses' side, and in the Homestead case on the workers' side.
