JURAVICH, TOM / BRONFENBRENNER, KATE, 1954-. Ravenswood: the steelworkers' victory and the revival of American labor. Ithaca, N.Y.: ILR Press, an imprint of Cornell University Press, 1999, 2d printing number line ending in 2, xi, 245pp., . 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. 9780801436338 ISBN 0801436338.

Hardcover. First edition. First printing [stated]. Sewn binding. Paper over boards. xi, [1], 256, [2] p. Source Notes. Index. Jonathan D. Rosenblum describes the resurgence in 1996 and 1997 of union activism at Steelwarkers Local 890 in Silver City, New Mexico, the famous "Salt of the Earth" union. Phelps Dodge obliterated all the unions at its Arizona properties in the devastating 1983 campaign of permanent replacement documented in Copper Crucible. The company later acquired the China mine in wetern New Mexico; with the copper ore came the elements of union rebirth. Local 890 beat back Phelps Dodge's 1996 decertification campaign and, inspired by the union president's admonition that "We are still the soil of the earth, " launched a community-wide campaign to resist the antiunion tactics of Phelps Dodge.
