Steel Mills

[Tom Lehman]

The single best book on the decline and fall of the American steel industry in
John Hoerr's The Wolf Finally Came.(Pitt)  An obscure, but, fun book if you
like conspiracy theories was written by Penn State prof Dale Hathaway; I can
never remember the title of Hathaway's book and I'd have to look it up.(Penn
State).

The three best sources of  nuts and bolts steel industry information are New
Steel magazine(formerly Iron Age),  33 Metal Producing,  and American Metal
Market.  If you have any economics or business training these three magazines
can provide you with enough facts to draw your own conclusions.  You too can
be an expert steel analyst!:o) These magazines have websites and subs are
free.

If you need to know about processes in the steel industry, the classic is The
Making, Shaping and Treating of Steel; formerly published by U.S. Steel.

Steelabor a publication of the United Steelworkers of America is good for
current information on the trials and tribulations of Steelworkers.  I also
recommend visiting our website http://www.uswa.org/  for all the up to the
minute details.
