Look, if we justify exorbitant exec salaries, why not, just this once,
justify exorbitant workforce salaries?  

Besides, it's all in the contract.  GM's ergonomic engineers came up
with the acceptable number of parts per day, and you can't expect
somebody to just accept a raise in their quota lying down, no matter
what the circumstances.  

If the union is stalling on this issue, it is because they just can't
accept something for nothing.  I wouldn't and you wouldn't.
