Full story here... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32374533...n_the_economy/ On todays production lines the volume can be increased without a corresponding increase in the effort of the individual. So a 6.4% increase in production does not mean that the employee is being overworked as implied. what really happened is that so many people got laid off, productivity increased because the output/worker increased. Maybe the deadwood went first. yeah, that's the cliche they want you to believe You sound like you are a union wage and benefit negotiator. |
