- Title
The Labor Board Crew: Remaking Worker – Employer Relations from Pearl Harbor to the Reagan Era.
- Abstract
Schatz highlights the 1959 steel strike, 'the biggest strike ever in U.S. history and one of the most consequential' (99), whose settlement ultimately ignored the lack of investment that was as endemic and consequential to contemporaneous British industry. In so doing, it revitalised President Franklin Roosevelt's stalled New Deal, and formed the basis of a new settlement that took account of the corporatization of the economy and the challenges that this posed to both product market competition and industrial relations. The experience of total war involved the unprecedented economic interventions of the federal government apparatus in the United States, following the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 until Japan's surrender in August 1945.
