The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although the question makes no reference to the period in time or other contexts, we can assume it refers to the Gilded Age.
The various violent clashes between labor and management that occurred during the Gilded Age characterized America during the mid to the end of the 1800s. The clash of these two forces, labor unions and management or company owners, escalated and in some parts of the United States became violent.
These events cñearly reveal that each group had different interests and agendas. However, it was clear that companies exploited workers because they used to work for long hours, they were paid low wages, and worked under unhealthy conditions.
We have the examples of the Homestead Strike of 1892. Workers from the Steel Company owned by Andre Carnegie went on strike that ended with so much violence and the use of weapons. Or what about the Pullman strike of 1894, where the manufacturing company of Pullman Chicago escalated until it became a national conflict with the participation of railroads in the United States and the intervention of the US government.
