Hello Tom - 

TW>>> Although in the Defence of NTSC over in Japan that
TW>>> adapted the RCA system their Color is about equal to PAL.
TW>>> But then their Stations Engineers are Not "Don't Give a
TW>>> Damn UNION Goons". 

->> Is there _any_ failure of a corporation that cannot be
->> blamed on the unions? 

TW> I amn sure there is. But in the Caee Under Discussion the
TW> ONLY reason for the Difference i nCloor Quality since both
TW> Systems are Mechanicaly/Electronicly IDENTICAL is the
TW> Caring and Quality of the Engineers, both in the Studio and
TW> at the Transmitter. 

I'm not qualified to discuss in detail how each job
classification affects the quality of color on a television
screen. The word 'engineer' has been tossed around a bit but
I'm guessing you are referring to the technicians (non-college
grads) who operate the equipment? 

I'm not sure how much good I could do if the equipment was
inferior or not well maintained. I do know that management
would not allow me to fix/adjust that equipment if I was only
hired to operate it. True, the union wouldn't want me to either
but management wouldn't be fighting them over it. 

TW> Japan learned a great lesson after theri foldding the World
TW> with Pure Junk prior to WWII. And that was of taking Pride
TW> in a product and priducing Quality. Something that has been
TW> Totaly LOST in the United States. 

I have witnessed union interference that affected productivity
but I've never witnessed the union interfering with quality.
Quality control has been a salaried position where I've worked
often done by young engineers as training for later when they
get to do actual design work. Salaried employees do not belong
to the unions (normally). 

It has always been management that purchased inferior
equipment, ignored proper maintenance, purchased inferior
materials, inferior fasteners, and inferior tooling to combine
all of this into the product. Unions aren't allowed input into
this process they just deal with it the best that they can. 

TW> And Ironicly that Loss concides with the Rise in Power of
TW> the UNIONS. What more can I say??? 

At the height of union influence (approx. 22% of the US labor
force) American manufacturing was preferable to any other in
the world. The time-frame you refer to is the DECLINE of union
membership over the past two or three decades. 

The Japanese you mention frequently also have the highest
suicide rate among the world's teenagers and their fastest
growing religion is one where old people pray to die each
morning so that they won't impoverish their children by living
too very long. The motivation for Japanese workers is abject
fear of poverty. In that country you starve/die. We're moving
in that direction - God save your grandchildren.
