There was the Homestead Strike in 1892, during which 9 people died. The Pinkerton Detective Agency, which "handled" the strike for Carnegie, is notorious for violently busting strikes in the 19th century US.

And how many workers did that affect vs the population of the country?
It was the beginning of a movement which affects all workers in the US today, so... 100%.
Today is 125 years after the close of the 19th century.
