Frick "In the face of depressed steel prices, Henry c. Frick, general manager of the Homestead plant that Carnegie largely owned, was determined to cut wages and break the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers, the nation's largest steelmaker and its largest craft union." "With the union's three-year contract with Carnegie coming to an end in June 1892, Frick announced pay cuts for hundreds of Homestead workers. After refusing to negotiate with the union, he shuttered the Homestead steel mill on June 29, locking 3,800 workers out." "The strike at the Homestead became violent when the company brought in armed guards from out of town. The guards were hired partly to protect the factory from the strikers. The guards were also expected to protect new workers that the company planned to bring in to replace the strikers." What happened to Henry Frick after the Homestead Strike? Berkman decided to assassinate Frick in revenge for his savage treatment of workers during the Homestead Strike. Posing as an employment agent for strikebreakers, Berkman gained entrance to Frick's office on July 23, 1892. He pointed his revolver at Frick's head and fired. The bullet struck Frick in the shoulder.
