		U.S. Steel's production peaked at more than 35 million tons in 1953; its employment was greatest during World War II in 1943, when it had more than 340,000 employees.
		U.S. Steel maintained the anti-labor policies of Andrew Carnegie, who had destroyed the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel, and Tin Workers, the union that represented his employees at the Homestead, Pennsylvania plant after a massive strike in 1892.
		U.S. Steel dropped its hardline anti-union stance in 1937, however, when Myron Taylor, then President of U.S. Steel, agreed to recognize the Steel Workers Organizing Committee, an arm of the CIO led by John L. Lewis.

		U.S. Steel maintained the anti-labor policies of Andrew Carnegie, who had destroyed the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel, and Tin Workers union that represented his employees at the Homestead, Pennsylvania plant after a large strike in 1892.
		U.S. Steel did reach an impasse with unions during World War I when under pressure from the Wilson Administration, it relaxed its opposition to unions enough to allow some to operate in certain of its factories.
		The Steelworkers launched a number of long strikes against U.S. Steel in 1946 and 1959, but those strikes were over wages and benefits not the more fundamental issue of union recognition that led to violent strikes elsewhere.
