Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the working conditions, labor relations, employers, and employees in the US iron and steel industry, as studied and reported by the Department of Commerce and Labor at the request of the Senate in 1910. Through extensive interviews, field studies, and analysis of company records, the author presents an in-depth look at the physical and work environments for laborers during this time, highlighting the extreme physical labor, long shifts, and dangerous conditions workers endured, as well as the inequities and power imbalances between management and employees. The author also examines the impact of the industry's consolidation via large corporations, which resulted in fewer opportunities for workers and the concentration of excessive control and profits. The report includes specific data on wages and hours and provides insight into the factors contributing to the poor working conditions in the industry. It concludes with recommendations for improving these conditions and argues for a more balanced and just relationship between employers and employees.
