During 1959, steel industry profits were skyrocketing. Noticing this, the nation's steelworkers, represented by the United Steelworkers of America, made a demand for higher wages. At the same time, industry management was working against the union to lose a contract clause which protected worker jobs and hours. This conflict resulted in a 500,000 worker strike the effects of which were felt throughout the industry. In the end, the union received wage increases and preserved their contract clause.
