Labor's collective bargaining agreements created interdependent commitments that sustained jobs and stabilized communities. The evidence in The Steelworkers' Retirement Security System includes an empirical analysis of United States steel towns and case studies of Weirton, West Virginia, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and Johnstown, Pennsylvania. By understanding the politics that bound firms and workers together and adapting these commitments to the post-industrial economy, The Steelworkers' Retirement Security System offers a new means by which communities can provide workers security and economic growth. This new model, the Guaranteed Pension and Community Investment plan, provide workers with lifetime retirement annuities and communities with reliable investment capital.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Glenn Beamer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 161146188X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781611461886\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lehigh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.30w x 0.70d","brand":"Glenn Beamer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43984599679231,"sku":"9781611461886","price":92.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0513f6ff-c26a-4566-8ef0-a0558dc0bc63.jpg?v=1683273188","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-steelworkers-retirement-security-system-glenn-beamer-9781611461886","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
