nation a history of ice appliances and enterprise in america coming 10 17 13 only when the power goes off and food spoils do we truly appreciate how much we rely on refrigerators and freezers in refrigeration nation jonathan rees explores the innovative methods and gadgets that americans have invented to keep perishable food cold from cutting river and lake ice and shipping it to consumers for use in their iceboxes to the development of electrically powered equipment that ushered in a new age of convenience and health as much a history of successful business practices as a history of technology this book illustrates how refrigeration has changed the everyday lives of americans and why it remains so important today beginning with the natural ice industry in 1806 rees considers a variety of factors that drove the industry including the point and product of consumption issues of transportation and technological advances rees also shows that how we obtain and preserve perishable food is related to our changing relationship with the natural world he compares how people have used the cold chain in america to other countries offering insight into more than just what we eat refrigeration nation helps explain one small part of who we are as a people order from the johns hopkins university press order from amazon industrialization and the transformation of american life a brief introduction this book provides a descriptive episodic yet analytical synthesis of industrialization in america it integrates analysis of the profound economic and social changes taking place during the period between 1877 and the start of the great depression ten topics varieties of industrialization questions of labor immigration urbanization the westward movement the environment transportation power politics and the organization of work are examined with each subject illustrated by three case studies the 30 case studies were selected as examples of the underlying principles of industrialization that cumulatively convey a comprehensive understanding of the era buy from m e sharpe buy from amazon representation and rebellion the rockefeller plan at the colorado fuel and iron company 1914 1942 in response to the tragedy of the ludlow massacre john d rockefeller jr introduced one of the nation s first employee representation plans erps to the colorado fuel and iron company in 1915 with the advice of william mackenzie king who would go on to become prime minister of canada the plan which came to be known as the rockefeller plan was in use until 1942 and became the model for erps all over the world in representation and rebellion jonathan rees uses a variety of primary sources including records recently discovered at the company s former headquarters in pueblo colorado to tell the story of the rockefeller plan and those who lived under it as well as to detail its various successes and failures taken as a whole the history of the rockefeller plan is not the story of ceaseless oppression and stifled militancy that its critics might imagine but it is also not the story of the creation of a paternalist panacea for labor unrest that rockefeller hoped it would be addressing key issues of how this early twentieth century experiment fared from 1915 to 1942 rees argues that the rockefeller plan was a limited but temporarily effective alternative to independent unionism in the wake of the ludlow massacre the book will appeal to business and labor historians political scientists and sociologists as well as those studying labor and industrial relations buy from university press of colorado buy from amazon com from the pueblo chieftain 3 2 10 early employee representatives at the cf i weren t stooges and they weren t suck ups concludes the author of a new book on the company s employee representation plan the groundbreaking plan covering workers at the pueblo steel mill and the company s far flung mines is the subject of representation and rebellion the rockefeller plan at the colorado fuel and iron company 1914 1942 by jonathan rees associate professor of history at colorado state university pueblo it surprised me just how active the people employee representatives were rees said they got in management s faces the image of a company union was that they were pliant suck ups to management and there was no real conversation between workers and management but from the moment i first saw minutes of the meetings i could tell just how active they were how forceful rees said there were a few similar plans that predated the cf i s but the local one often called the rockefeller plan got the attention because of ludlow and because of the rockefeller name on the advice of canadian labor expert william mackenzie king john d rockefeller jr instituted the employee representation plan as a way to improve the cf i s tarnished image after the ludlow massacre as an attempt to discourage labor union activity and prevent further strikes and because he genuinely was interested in reform rees said at the time of the massacre the rockefeller family owned 40 percent of cf i stock and a large proportion of its bonds and the younger rockefeller headed the family foundation rockefeller visited pueblo and southern colorado for three weeks in fall 1915 to announce the plan under which employee representatives were elected and met regularly with company representatives to discuss workers grievances rees book revisits the events at ludlow and the united mine workers of america s campaign to blame company owners for the tragedy it discusses early 20th century industrial relations and follows king s influence on rockefeller and in crafting the employee representation plan it explains the plan and notes the creation of colorado s industrial commission in 1915 which was to administer the workmen s compensation law and mediate labor disputes rees writes that of all the rights given to cf i workers under the representation plan the right to join an outside union caused management the most concern that right plus the fact that workers could appeal to the industrial commission made the cf i plan the most extraordinary of employee representation plans rees discusses employees differing reactions to the plan and notes that some reported not even knowing it existed in part because they didn t speak english rees said the cf i s employee representation plan wasn t the same as a company union many of which were created to circumvent the national labor relations act of 1935 this cf i plan and those plans were not even remotely similar this one was much more liberal in the end though the local plan didn t work because it created a crisis of rising expectations rees said you tell them the workers they have rights and they still will press for more the plan didn t put an end to strikes but rees thinks the workers would have said they were better off with the plan even though it had limitations than without it he said he aimed for the middle ground in writing his history of the erp and his book is of wider interest than just southern colorado because it is about managing personnel that s not like handling machines because the people talk back share this print opens in new window print share on x opens in new window x share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on linkedin opens
