I worked with a man who worked on a Detriot auto assembly line for a couple of years. He said they'd have a blast smoking Thai stick during breaks and stump it out inside of door frames before installing panels.
Lack of personal motivation and poor supervision, regardless of unions affiliation, is the biggest problem. A union can cover it a bit, but it takes willful negligence on the part of coworkers and foremen to institutionalize bad performance. It takes a heck of a long time to root it out, too.
Detroit cars seem to be improving. Is that due to a change in attitude or a change in process?
