Pittsburgh (Colony)

Pittsburgh is a mostly barren planet which is high is mineral deposits. Because of this, the Terran Federation had established mining outposts on the planets surface. However, five years after the colony was established, miners began complaining about their rights as miners. Eventually all the miners went on strike and after eight days, the President of the Terran Federation negotiated with the leader of the Pittsburgh Miners Guild and gave the miners higher pay and shorter working hours when he heard that the governor was going to send the Colonial Security Force to put them down.
