Andrew was the first manufacturer to control everything of his product's development to the raw materials that technology was used to refine it. He built a number of factories and supplied jobs to those that needed them . People that worked for him received low pay, worked for long hours in dangerous conditions where injuries was common.

The poor working conditions led to the Homestead Strike which the workers expressed their feelings towards the working conditions and low pay. Strike ended in many violent deaths, this helped Andrew and other businessmen keep a tight control over their workers by denying them the right to unionise.

Mr Carnegie chose to fight unions and collective bargaining because he earned more money by controlling the wages of his workers. The workers' rights movement suffered immensely because of Carnegie and his work.

You are likely referring to Andrew Carnegie, a prominent industrialist and steel magnate in the late 19th century. The conflict at the Homestead steel mill, known as the Homestead Strike of 1892, arose when workers protested wage cuts and poor working conditions. Carnegie, the owner of the mill, took a tough stance by hiring replacement workers (often referred to as scabs) to break the strike. While the conflict resulted in victory for Carnegie in terms of labor control, his reputation was tarnished due to the violent suppression of the strike and the use of strikebreakers, which led to criticism from labor unions and the public.
