Ravenswood recounts how the United Steelworkers of America, in a
battle waged over an aluminum plant in West Virginia, proved that
organized labor can still win - even against a company controlled
by one of the world's richest and most powerful men. The book
provides an insider's look at the new tactics that many in the
labor movement hope will revitalize the struggle for workers'
rights in America. On November 1, 1990, just as its contract with
the United Steelworkers of America was about to expire, Ravenswood
Aluminum Corporation locked out its seventeen hundred employees and
hired permanent replacements. Despite deteriorating working
conditions that had led to five deaths in the previous year, the
company had refused to discuss safety and health issues at the
bargaining table. Drawing on interviews with key participants, Tom
Juravich and Kate Bronfenbrenner describe how victory was achieved
through the tremendous commitment and solidarity of the workers and
their families coupled with one of the most innovative and
sophisticated contract campaigns ever waged by an American union.
