Growing up in Hamilton Ontario I worked for a few years in steel, as a labourer at STELCO (with about 12000 other men and a handful of women in the 1970s).
The exchange of money for labour rebuilding open hearth furnaces funded my university studies. In the last forty years, Stelco changed owners, shed labour, stole pensions from retirees, and has mostly disappeared. Meanwhile I reflected on the challenges of sustainability for steelmakers and a society so depndent on steel ( and cement) as building materials. Lately I've came to appreciate this discussion.
