I blame Lee Iacocca. Then they could give in to union demands, forgo strikes, spend money they wouldn’t otherwise have and generally get real lazy. That worked until they faced real competition. They’ve been trying to work their way out of that ever since.



They should have learned from old Henry. He found that it is much cheaper to have a strike than to lay off people and you lose fewer of your better workers. So, when the inventories got too high, he would simply do something to stir up the union.
