Explanation:

The text describes industrial tycoons like Vanderbilt and Carnegie. It mentions Vanderbilt's aggressive business tactics (eliminating competition, prioritizing profit over worker welfare) and Carnegie's labor relations (disparaging unions, using strikebreakers). These actions show that tycoons generally did not value workers' well - being. The statements about not caring much for workers (e.g., Vanderbilt's disregard for workers reflecting the era's profit - over - welfare mindset) and not supporting unions (Carnegie's actions during labor disputes) support this.

Answer:

Tycoons typically did not support worker unions and did not care much for their workers. They often prioritized profit (as seen in Vanderbilt's focus on industry dominance and profit over worker welfare) and took actions against workers' interests (like Carnegie's use of strikebreakers during labor disputes).
