What was the name of the labor union strike in Pennsylvania that became violent?

The Homestead Strike is well-known for its violent clash between steelworkers and private security agents in Pennsylvania in 1892. This strike occurred at the Homestead Steel Works, which was owned by Andrew Carnegie. Workers were protesting against wage cuts and unfavorable working conditions after the company announced plans to reduce their pay.

As tensions escalated, the plant hired the Pinkerton National Detective Agency to secure the site, leading to a confrontation that resulted in a violent battle. The involvement of law enforcement and private security highlighted the intense labor disputes of the era and the lengths to which companies would go to suppress union organizing and protect their interests. The strike significantly impacted labor relations and highlighted the struggles workers faced during a time of rapid industrialization in the United States.

The other choices do not accurately represent this specific, notable violent conflict related to labor strikes. The Palmer Strike, for example, is more associated with the Red Scare and antiradical sentiments than directly tied to a labor union conflict. Similarly, while Miners' Rebellion may refer to various labor battles involving miners (particularly in coal regions), it does not pertain to the specific incident in Homestead. Cooper's Strike is less recognized in the context of significant labor history in the same way
