No competition.Gee. That explains it all.
No mention of altered 'test' results, fudged QC activities, acceptance of non-conforming materials that FAILED at incoming QC, no mention of inspectors being bought off, no mention of using materials with NO trace-ability back to a legitimate vendor, just the old hand-waving saw about 'no competition'.
Great. You have it all nailed down.
I realize it's much more fun to say "It's the Union's fault".
