The UAW is an aberration that only demonstrates the "union bubble".
The UAW managed to drive compensation up, far beyond the value of the
work and we had a correction. Just like those cracker box houses that
were selling for $300k a few years ago, sanity has returned to the car
business ... in Tennessee. Putting a bearing in a transmission case
and hitting it with a soft hammer is not worth $50,000 a year (what my
wife's nephew was doing, right out of high school). He did have to
pick the case up and put it on the belt. That is why it was an entry
level job. (Kokomo Chrysler plant)
It's good to have a dad who is a shop steward I guess.

actually what happened was that GM treated the american consumer like
an ATM. the japanese treated american consumers like we were
consumers.

GM managers were accountants. toyota's are engineers who focused on
building cars.

it was corporate america's attitude that destroyed GM, not the UAW.

Was the UAW and management that caused the meltdown. No quality from either
management or UAW. go to Japan and Deming's photo is in every manufacturing
company. The father of quality control.

agree to a certain extent. i used to work for bell labs..they invented
much of modern quality control (most business still use the 'western
electric rules' for statistical process control)

many japanese auto plants are unionized.
