Description

Metal Fatigue examines the dramatic closure of American Bosch's Springfield, Massachusetts manufacturing plant on February 4, 1986, tracing 32 years of job losses and industrial decline in the Connecticut River Valley. Written by a former Bosch worker and union business agent who represented 1,200 employees at the plant's shutdown, this account combines personal testimony with historical analysis of how a 76-year-old metalworking facility came to symbolise the broader collapse of American manufacturing. The narrative explores the human cost of industrial restructuring under United Technologies Corporation and reveals how Springfield, once a centre of American manufacturing for over 150 years, experienced the devastating effects of plant closures and work relocation. Part of Routledge's Work, Health and Environment Series, the book offers an insider's perspective on labour history, economic change, and the workers whose lives were transformed by deindustrialisation.
