You don't know shit about the concept of Quality in industrial production...just as you know nothing about industry. Actually, I probably have more college hours on the subject of QC and statistical QC than anyone posting here, I would guess. So I know a little about it. Quality is designed in first and foremost...you can use the most diligent workers to build a poorly designed car, built in a poorly engineered manufacturing process, within a badly executed product lifecycle and you'll get exactly the same results...union or not. I've made no argument that other things can't cause QC problems. They can. But there is no doubt that QC problems are caused, in significant part, by the unworkable union contracts. Sure, lousy designs can cause problems, too. But the reality is we have people doing jobs that should be done by robots and computers. As long as you have that you're going to have quality problems.
