Notes:

Deals with labour relations at the modern Abbey Steel Works at Port Talbot, opened by Streel Co of Wales in very early 1950s, seeking to explain why they degenerated so rapidly by the 1960s and 70s notwithstanding the modernity of the plant and its processes. Has sections: 'Treasure Island - Port Talbot the boom town'; 'Divisions of labour - negotiations in a multi-union workplace'; 'Strikes - pay, status and fairness'
