Paperback. Condition: 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.
