At the Delphi Plant where I work management is increasing pressure on our union to become more involved in the participation of so-called problem solving along with management. The key to management's approach is the concept known as "Lean" Management.
Are there any discussion groups, networks, or individuals that are discussing how to cope with lean manufacturing practices from a labor union perspective?
Please excuse the inevitable cross posting, and feel free to respond to me personally at the below address or to this mail list. Thank You.
Best Regards, Tony Budak
