Ya that is true, but the problem was not due to the Union thing, it was just bad management as a hole.
Indeed.
So why don't we pass laws that fine companies with bad management?
Or bring some other presure to bare on buisness to run a tight ship?
I'll tell you why.
Its all the workers fault.
If you just worked a little harder everything will be OK
Remember Boxer, the horse from Aniaml farm that truely believed if he could just work a little harder everything would be OK?
Didn't work out too well for old boxer did it?

Amusing (or is it frightening) that we can take example from Orwell's animal farm and aply it to our own system now isn't is......
All animals are equal but some are more equal than others.
AND THATS OK CAUSE GREED IS GOOD.
I won't buy into that Bullshit.
I am good Donkey and do as much as I need too to get the job done.
Thats not lazy, thats survival, this body has to last untill pension without a serious accident or too much wear and tear.

Perhaps one of UAW members here would like to tell you how many injuries they had on the line compared to a toyota worker just a few years ago ( before thinmgs went to hell )?
Incase they are quiet this evening a UAW worker was less productive but they suffered less stress and work place injuries.
Much lower burn out too.
Now Japanese managers jump out of windows.
Chinese labour jumps out of windows too.
Where I work we have a joke all the bosses have windows on the ground floor to keep them from jumping to their deaths ( some like me sugest we shoudl build taller offices because what we got now are a pretty sorry lot for thinkers and planners ).
All this push to slash costs and work harder are not sustainable.
People are getting fed up
People change jobs now every 5 to 7 years on average.
Thats not enough time to retrain and be productive.
Push push push.....
Speed up the line
Burn out your workers.
productivity drops.
Demand wage cust.
Faster faster faster.
Wage cuts are easier than investing in worker and training....
Next thing you.
We live in Chinese North America.
