I don't think that the great Rockerfeller, the "oil baron", and Carnegie, the "Steel King" of the 1870s, even remotely cared about their workers. Working had become more industrial, and they each wanted to gain in the competition. They formed rivalries, trusts, and believed that if they were self-made men, then any worker could rise above his/her strife if he/she really wanted to...even though they were mostly immigrants and were willing to work for measly pay, to subsist.

Not well at all. During the times of these and other robber barons, unions, child labor laws, etc were to come about. Unions do not form if one is treated correctly.
