One of the most famous labor/management conflicts took place in the 1902 Coal Strike in Pennsylvania. The strike brought the coalmine owner George Baer against the United Mine Workers Union and led Theodore Roosevelt to sponsor government intervention. Consider these questions as you post your initial response:
- Why did President Theodore Roosevelt intervene, and what precedents did he set?
- Imagine yourself as a leader in these negotiations. Tell us which side you are leading and whether government intervention was the best solution. If it wasnt, what were workable alternatives?
