Synopsis
How a landmark steel industry agreement reshaped employment opportunities
This nonfiction study explains the formation and effects of the Steel Industry Consent Decree. It traces the environment that pushed parties to negotiate, the decree’s provisions, and how the agreement aimed to change minority representation and pay practices in steel plants.

- Details of the decree’s terms and how they address minority employment and back pay

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the negotiation process and outcomes of the Steel Industry Consent Decree, a landmark agreement between the United States government, nine steel companies, and the United Steelworkers of America. The agreement aimed to address racial inequality in employment practices, particularly seniority systems that perpetuated segregation in trade and craft positions. The author examines the environmental factors that shaped the negotiations, including the economic downturn, legal precedents, and the unique bargaining relationship between the USWA and the industry. The book analyzes the specific provisions of the Decree, including plant-wide seniority, goals for minority representation in trade and craft jobs, rate retention, and a back pay settlement. It evaluates the impact of these measures on minority representation and earnings differentials in the years following the Decree's implementation. The book concludes by considering the broader implications of the Steel Industry Consent Decree, highlighting its role in setting precedents for addressing employment discrimination and its impact on industrial relations beyond the steel industry.
