| Publisher Description: CHOICE1999 Outstanding Academic Title 2000 Distinguished Scholarship Award presented by the Pacific Sociological Assocation What happens to employees when their company decides to close? Thousands of workers across America have faced this prospect in the past twenty years, but relatively few have chosen to buy the company and operate it as a worker-owned concern. Forced Choices examines the celebrated case of Weirton, West Virginia, where steelworkers and area residents fought to save a steelmill, community, and way of life. |
