The 1930s represents, for many, a heroic period where workers set aside their differences and mobilized collectively into unions to confront management's control. This view has led us to ignore interest divisions among workers and their importance in shaping union outcomes. In Duquesne and the Rise of Steel Unionism, James D. Rose challenges this conventional view and develops a fascinating account of the forces that led to unionization at U.S. Steel's Duquesne plant. Rose documents the critical role that interest divisions between skilled and unskilled steelworkers played in influencing unionization at Duquesne. |
