Description:

A study of sttelworkers emplyed at, or laid off from, Stelco's Hilton Works in Hamilton, Ontario. Situated in the context of the global restructuring of capitalism. The authors contend that more than ever before the dynamics of the whole world economy limit and shape the actions of its parts - a process ferred to as "globalizing the local." Restructuring is taking place in response to global demands. As the global net tightens, local regions and industry have less and less autonomy for independent development. Stelco is best conceived as a site of the worldwide process of capital accumulation. How has this restructuring impacted on local regions and local workers? This questions is the focus of this book, often answered in workers' and managements' own words.
