The workers called the new mill "Fort Frick." Frick’s new ironfisted policies were the last straw for disgruntled workers. After many months of unhappiness with management, workers were in no disposition to deal with Frick. He decided to allocate pay cuts to the workers individually --“Individually” being the key term here, as the workers demanded to remain as a solid union and refused to negotiate wages individually with Frick. On June 28, 1892 Frick, in an attempt to break the union, forced a “Lock-out”.
George Mueller’s arrest caused eight thousand steel and electrical workers in the Pittsburgh district to strike in protest. Mueller wanted them to return to work, but the union members had a meeting and voted to not consider a company offer about their wages until the court lifted its antistrike injunction. Due to the strike many stores closed, and the trolley service was reduced to 50 per cent of what it was before. The charges against Mueller were eventually dropped, which led to negotiations about wages. Trolley service was completely cut by a sympathy strike a short time after the negotiations began.

Taxing sugary drinks could change people’s choices behavior. People need to change their life style and learn to live more healthily. Healthy choices are always more expensive than bad choices.
The Letter to the Old Drinking Buddy Won Gu Kim Due date: 23 September 14 Won Gu Kim Nola M. Hadley Torres History 7B 22 September 2014 Dear my old drinking buddy, It has been three years after the 18th amendment had been passed, and both consumption and possession of alcohol were prohibited, and my life is just full of unhappiness. I wonder how you are doing in California since we both are drinking lovers. After the law became valid, I see that people actually started to lose their respect to the law and became against the government itself. My companies from the work already began to complain about the law and tend to ignore it and offense the crime. Prohibition causes people to regard the law as unimportant and not efficient,

Heineken Beer Marketing Research Spring 2012 Group 1 [pic] Abstract In our research, we chose criteria based on our literature which is important to consumers, including: Packaging/design, taste, image of brand, price, calories, lifestyle of consumer, and social/economic factors. As a group, we researched these criteria, making connections with our points and the empirical evidence that was found. There are many factors and alter the consumers' perceptions of different beers and different brands, and often times each individual consumer's criteria is not weighted the same way as the next person. One thing is for certain though; Americans love to drink beer. Because of this phenomenon, Heineken wishes to reposition their flagship brand as a younger, trendier beer and capture more of the 21 to 30 year old beer-consuming market.

Imported beer is quite different from homemade beer mainly because the way it’s made and the working habits they have at the factories. Not only that but they also have problem that deal with their government and with the environment and as if that was not all they also have to be careful on how they make it otherwise they could threat people’s lives. Most beers start with the same ingredients, and most of them are malt, hops, water, and yeast. A lot of the times the a beer company will add or make something different in order to make it special or just so it could taste different. Even though they want their unique taste they have to be very careful about it because one little mistake can ruin thousands of liters of beer.
This case talks about the birth of Snapple Beverages followed by the acquisition of Snapple by Quaker. However, the acquisition of Snapple caused it to lose sales and made it worse off. Snapple and Gatorade were much more successful and making more sales when it was independent. I think when Snapple got acquired, Quaker tried new strategies to make it more successful than it already was but it failed. The acquisition was in my opinion a bad execution.
