Using the global steel industry's status in the 1980s as a context,
this study follows its evolution from booming business to a
precipitous decline, comparing it to the current changes unfolding
within the Canadian steel industry. The chronicle demonstrates how
management demanded workers' augmented participation in
increasingly temporary and insecure labor. Workers at the flagship
Stelco plant in Hamilton, Ontario, are interviewed, and new
management strategies as well as the unionized workforces'
responses to them are documented. Illustrating the effects of the
industry's decline on the workers' communities as well, this series
of investigations reveals how the insight of today's steelworkers
is being dismissed in favor of an undermining academic knowledge.
