Description

Explore the profound impact of industrial shifts in the Connecticut River Valley with Metal Fatigue: American Bosch and the Demise of Metalworking in the Connecticut River Valley. Part of the Work, Health and Environment Series, this book examines the closing of the 76-year-old American Bosch manufacturing plant in Springfield, Massachusetts. On February 4, 1986, the decision by United Technologies Corporation changed the lives of thousands of workers, marking the end of a long era of manufacturing in the region. This historical account provides a deep look into the nearly 32-year history of job loss and work relocation that occurred at the sprawling factory. Unlike a standard textbook, the author provides a unique perspective as a former Bosch worker and the business agent for the union that represented nearly 1,200 employees during the plant closure. This personal connection adds a human element to the economic history of Springfield, a city that stood at the center of production for more than 150 years. It is an essential read for those interested in business history, labor relations, and the changing landscape of American industry.
