Cover design by Goodness Graphics. keywords: Politics Business America Rural Takeover. DESCRIPTION-What happens when a ‘runaway shop' runs away? The abandoned area suffers economic collapse, unemployment, and social decay-but what about the place the company moves to? Bryan D. Palmer, a leading social historian, chronicles the Goodyear Corporation's building of the ‘world's most modern tire plant' in Napanee, a backcountry town in Ontario desperate for jobs. He explores the human dimensions of plant relocation as Napanee's leaders are bought off by the giant rubber company's sordid business practices, and the town's cultural life is reduced to corporate boosterism. Leaving behind a unionized workforce of 1, 500 in its old plant in Toronto, Goodyear set up shop in rural Napanee with a nonunion workforce of only 550. Along the way, the company entered into secret negotiations with town officials to keep land costs low. It wangled $95 million in government subsidies. It drilled its new employees into disciplined industrial ‘teams. ' And it enlisted the high-school principal into holding Goodyear pep rallies and adapting the curricula to meet the company's needs. Palmer's lively narrative, illustrated with photos of the transformation of Napanee, cuts through the myth of ‘partnership' to uncover the real costs of corporate penetration of a rural town. inventory #35770.
