Résumé
When steel manufacturer Stelco Inc. went into bankruptcy protection in early 2004, there was a lot at stake during the company's restructuring: 6,000 jobs, 10,000 pensions; the egos and pocketbooks of lawyers, investors, union leaders, politicians and hedge fund managers,… each with a special interest to flog and no interest in compromise. CEO Courtney Pratt, hired to clean up the mess, believed in keeping the company alive while ethically reconciling the competing interests - and trying to stay human in a bottom-line world. Some strong language. c2008.
