Legacy Costs - The Story of a Factory Town

from $0.00

Written by: Richard Hudelson

Synopsis: Remembering the UAW Union Victories
Within a century, New Castle, Indiana changed from an agricultural county seat to a prosperous factory town to a de-industrialized and struggling part of the American rust belt. For much of that time, New Castle was a strong union town—a UAW town. For its working-class families, the UAW won a living wage, a company funded pension, and some democratic, collective control over the forces affecting their lives.
