Good point.
And one of the saddest aspects of the sitiuation I described is that most of the workers were likable, well trained and competent except for the fact they had drunk the Kool Aid and were militantly hard core union.
I was actually told by the union supervisor that it was his job to find (read: create) work for as many union members as possible - not to be productive and make the company profitable.
But when they did apply themselves they could do good quality work. Still - their greatest skill was stretching the work to fill all the time available and more.
