I didn't say it changed meaning, I said the meaning was disputed. The etymology is vague and can mean different things depending on what you think "rule" is.

Anyhow, I don't have much sympathy for strikers who try to use violence or prevent other people from taking their place, so the pinkerton reference isn't very meaningful.
