Labor Relations in the Industrial West

Schrecka2fcfe32c1f76dc9d5ebe09475fa72e5633cc36dSince the beginning of the nineteenth century the relationship between the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company and their workers has been dynamic. While each side needed the other to be successful, they didn't always agree on how to achieve a lasting harmony. The study of labor relations tends to focus on labor disputes, even though periods of turmoil are actually the exception rather than the rule. That's not to say that CF&I and its employees didn't have their fair share of disagreements, which sometimes exploded into strikes, violence, and even a full-blown massacre. But there were also long periods of peace and understanding between the two sides, and leaders from both sides often worked together to the benefit of everyone involved. The steel mill was the life-blood of the Pueblo community for over a hundred years, and most of the men and women who worked there are proud to say that they had done so.
