how did Andrew Carnegie treat workers
Andrew Carnegie dealt with striking union workers at his Pennsylvania steel factory by hiring Pinkerton detectives to break up the strike, resulting in violence and casualties. Eventually, Carnegie agreed to meet with union leaders and reached a compromise to end the strike, but he did so with reluctance and a sense of caution.
This was a battle to unionize steel workers of Carnegie Steel Company in Pennsylvania. The Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers (AA) was an American labor union formed in 1876. It was a craft union representing skilled iron and steel workers. Carnegie was publicly in favor of the Unions but only publicly. He and his manager Henry Frick were bound to break the union. The Homestead was a setback to the union. The Pennsylvania State Militia was brought in to stop the uprising.

I, too am looking for the daily Pittsburgh Press cartoon called "The Day Shift" which depicted construction workers . I remember it running in the fifties and sixties. It was in one of the Pittsburgh papers, and I'm pretty sure it was the Press.I'm about to call the Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh (Oakland). If any one knows how to access Press cartoons they will.
He underpayed them.
this is good
No, neither Carnegie nor Morgan explicitly stated that granting vacation to workers would be immoral. Carnegie did focus more on philanthropy towards providing benefits for workers, while Morgan was known for his investment strategies.
Absolutely not. Carnegie was a prototypical capitalist "robber baron" who ruthlessly exploited his workers.
he treated them pretty harsh
he decreased workers' hours. ... he raised workers' wages.
