It took place in Homestead Pennsylvania, 1892. It was a conflict between Carnegie Steel Company and the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers.

The labor movement gained lots of strength by the 1850's in areas like typographers, molders, and carpenters. Standards of apprenticeship and of wages, hours, and working conditions were made better. Although the agreements often broke down in periods of depression, a strong group of unions had developed by the 1880's so that a central federation was on the rise. This was the start of the American Federation of Labor.
