Descripción
Sumario:Having come of age during a period of vibrant union-centered activism, Jack Metzgar begins this book wondering how his father, a U.S & Steel shop steward in the 1950s and '60s, and so many contemporary historians could forget what this country owes to the union movement. Combining personal memoir and historical narrative, Striking Steel argues for reassessment of unionism in American life during the second half of the twentieth century and a recasting of "official memory." As he traces the history of union steelworkers after World War II, Metzgar draws on his father's powerful stories.
