This book, first published in 2000, examines how a group of
manufacturers of metal products - 'everything from buttonhooks to
battleships' - in America's third biggest city helped each other to
meet the challenges of organized labour (and sometimes an
interventionist state) in the half-century between the 'second
industrial revolution' and the Second World War. After thirty years
of success, the employers were finally overwhelmed by a resurgent
labour movement backed by New Deal politicians and administrators.
Their story offers the broadest and most detailed account available
of the industrial relations problems and policies of small and
mid-sized firms in this period. This book analyses labour issues by
means of a careful local case study, but its conclusions about the
interplay of labour, organized capital, law and the state in
determining the fate of workers' rights and employers' interests
have broad relevance to the history and politics of
twentieth-century industrial relations.
