>From A Union Guide to Workplace Change by Bob Baugh of the AFL-CIO Human
Resources Development Institute:
International Organization for Standardization(ISO) a United Nations organization based in Geneva, Switzerland. ISO 9000 is a voluntary international quality standard for business.
In the USA, Chrysler has really pushed for the adoption of these standards by its suppliers. Ford has its own quality standard called Q-1.
Many large and small manufacturers are pushing their suppliers to get ISO 9000 certification---particularly when business conditions get tight and the buyers can get picky about quality issues with their suppliers.
Union shops like to turn out a quality high value added product, because that's where the money is...and we want our share.
Sincerely, Tom
