Lackawanna Steel Mill 1963
In 1963, a year after John F. Kennedy publicly derided USW Leader Roger Blought over follow the leader pricing for steel, the Lackawanna Steel Mill was still the largest in the world. But the mill no longer had the latest technologies, it hasn't been updated since World War II. The mill would limp along into the 1970s, slowly winding down with rounds of layoffs before permanently shuttering in 1982.
