Because it’s not a bad system if management is responsible. Toyota has the same thing without a union. Toyota is now redirecting employees to fix or modify currently idle assemble plants. Sending employees for retraining. IOW taking advantage of the situation.
IF GM management came from where the works gets done, then GM management would do same. Ironic, that is what some union employees complained to me while I was in a GM plant. The company is so bureaucratic - so out of touch with reality - that is just lets employees sit there - learn nothing - fix nothing - do nothing.
A company with responsible management would be investing in their assets - their employees. But to an accountant, those employees, retraining, or modifying an assembly line are called an expense. Toyota is conducting training programs. GM lets their assets just sit ther doing cross word puzzles.
