Summary

Words means things. Yet, there are many industry terms that people are unaware of the meaning. It is said that in order to become fluent in a language, a person should know 5,000 words. While this book does not offer this number, it does offer individuals with at least a conversational knowledge of operational terminology needed for the business professional. This book is an intended to be a reference desk guide for individuals in business, operations, change, project management, supply chain, and other industry efforts. 
 
As corporate trainer, I noticed many individual (who identified as mid-career professionals) appeared confused over common terms used in business today. Terms such as "Leader", "Management", "Supply Chain", or "C-Level" were not widely understood. This is not to say that the people were bad at their job, rather the common business terminology is in fact jargon. What started as a three page write up of common definitions turned into a dictionary for professionals.

    The author of Steel tells the story of strikes and violent unrest amid the mines and mills of twentieth-century Pennsylvania and Ohio—includes photos.   As the twentieth century dawned on western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio, the region’s steel industry faced a struggle for unionism. The industry was plagued by disasters that killed and maimed countless workers, many of them impoverished immigrants from Ireland, Hungary, and other nations—in 1906 alone, more than four hundred workers died in steel plant accidents.   In response, unionists like Philip Murray, John L. Lewis, Samuel Gompers, and Gus Hall began to battle for fair wages, hours, and working conditions. Managers like Judge Elbert Gary and Tom Girdler opposed their every move. Tensions from issues of immigration, class, skill, and race erupted throughout the industry.   The tribulations led to widespread steel strikes directed by the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers and the Steel Workers Organizing Committee, and a war that killed scores and injured thousands. In this book, industrial relations expert Dale Richard Perelman charts the struggle and decline of the nation’s most prominent regional steel industry.
