The Motor Industry

Abstract

The motor industry is always in the news. As workers earn higher and higher wages they tend to become the scapegoats for management and other industrial workers. And as larger numbers of foreign cars are imported the British motor industry has to combat criticisms about the quality of the vehicles being produced. The management tends to feel that the industry is misrepresented, and managers are anxious to show off the production‐line in the best light. Add to this strikes, attacks on supervisors through boredom, Henry Ford's indictment of the British car factories, chaos and reorganisation, and it is clear that any accurate assessment is difficult.
