Re: Packard Plant in Detroit
What about Studebaker?????
Studebaker was the only nationally-known wagon manufacturer to survive the transition from horses to horsepower. In the early 1930's, during the Depression, the First was passed, allowing Labor Unions to organize. The workers at Studebaker were among the first automobile companies to organize into an Industrial Union -- becoming Federated Labor Union 18310 under the American Federation of Labor (AFL). The Studebaker's aggressive union, which saddled the company with the highest labor costs in the industry. The company always seemed to cave in to union demands rather than risk a strike.

Re: Packard Plant in Detroit
Yea but Jeff likes it.....I totally understand your position , it has been your life work defending your fellow workers and from the sound of it you are to be thanked by all for your dedication and support. Fairness to workers wasnt exactly started out of the goodness of the hearts of Scrooge et al.
Somewhere along the way some issues became too costly the other direction in the US. |

Re: Packard Plant in Detroit
To see stuff in it's current state and slide back and forth to see it in it's glory is pretty sad.
Cool how they did that with the pictures mind you, but sad to see it as it is now. |
