Who Is To Blame for Auto Industry’s Woes? - by Dianne Feeley, Labor Notes
Quality is another area in which management makes bad decisions. At plant-level “town hall” meetings, workers inevitably point to poor quality—bad parts coming in from non-union suppliers, foremen accepting parts that should be scrapped, or management’s prioritizing speed above quality.
Ford alone spent $500 million in recalling bad parts in the first three quarters of 2006.
While concessions are demanded from workers, management has found bankruptcy a convenient tool to both restructure corporations and reward itself.------------------------------------------- posted 5:01 AM :: reference link ::
