You know, I work for Intel, where I am certainly not a union employee and where my work is at a far higher skill level and where I am surrounded by far more intelligent and educated individuals…and I can still cite plenty of instances that are similar to the ones listed by the author of this piece, and I can cite just as many obstructions to productivity by useless bureaucracy, redundancy in labor and needless division of labor that easily cost my company hundreds of millions of dollars (if not more) a year. I think the things you will find that Intel and the Detroit Three have in common is that they are all work big companies with an upper management that is very disconnected from its labor and its process.
