I don't know where you were, but I had a chance to be in a GM plant over a
period of years. What I saw was hardly a sweat shop. It was like my
concept of an assembly line, but in slow motion. On the engine line, you
could work ahead several jobs (taking all of about 2 minutes), and then sit
down and read the paper (for about 10 minutes) until those jobs passed you.
I never saw ANYTHING that looked even remotely rushed or even pressing.
All of this for money and benefits in the area of $100,000 per year, with
no educational investment. Of course, this plant is gone now. Those
employees are collecting the same money and benefits for sitting in a "job
bank" and doing cross word puzzles. Is it any wonder?



My mom has a cousin that always bragged about how he never showed up at
Chrysler to work, had others clock him in, slept on the job etc. Well the
plant is now closed and he isn't making crap working some autoparts job.
Who's bragging now?
