********.


There were cases where they left the factory having been painted over
rust. They were rusty because they were left unfinished in the yard
until the paint shop stopped striking and then were painted without the
benefit of acid dips and the like to remove the rust on them.

Yes - bodies were delivered in bare metal and left outside to rust. All
obviously the fault of the assembly workers. Who as well as assembling
cars were responsible for overseeing just how and when bodies were made
elesewhere - and how they were stored after delivery. All Red Robbo's
fault at the end of the day. And of course those in that nice shiney new
paint plant - computer controlled - were responsible for making sure the
robot didn't miss out large chunks. Or perhaps that fancy new high
technology paint simply fell off - plenty did. All the fault of Red Robbo
again, obviously. OMG that man got around.


Well yes, the management should have laid off all the plant without pay.
That was the correct thing to do.
