Hmmm... lemme think about it.... n..naa.... ee.... yep.. yes it is the answer.
Two of my best mates were engineers who got put on lines as non-UAW managers to ensure Joe-Bob was putting the cars together right. The UAW guys made every day of their lives their absolute hell, didn't follow instructions worth s***, and were making 2 times as much as my engineer friends were after benefits. And yet would always complain about every little thing, and not heed anything from my friends who were technically their superiors, but they weren't UAW managers, they were overseeing engineers, so they didn't get the time of day from the workers. Thus cars continued to roll off the line with tons and tons of problems.
