Who was a lowlife piece of shit, hiring Pinkerton thugs to shoot up striking workers at one of his factories. I take Al Capone over Carnegie anytime.

Carnegie wasn't. Look above. That he donated some of his dosh later on doesn't revive the ones he ordered to be killed.
Quote:The Homestead Strike, also known as the Homestead Steel Strike, was an industrial lockout and strike which began on June 30, 1892, culminating in a battle between strikers and private security agents on July 6, 1892.[3] The battle was one of the most serious disputes in U.S. labor history, third behind the Ludlow Massacre and the Battle of Blair Mountain. The dispute occurred at the Homestead Steel Works in the Pittsburgh area town of Homestead, Pennsylvania, between the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers (the AA) and the Carnegie Steel Company. The final result was a major defeat for the union and a setback for their efforts to unionize steelworkers.
