Loose Bolts?

In the 1970s, General Motors introduced the most rigid system of quality control known to the automobile industry at its Lordstown, Ohio, plant. Loose Bolts? is the classic study of what became known as the "Lordstown syndrome." In-depth interviews with assembly-line workers, foremen, and elected union officials in this 30-minute video show how a bored and dissatisfied workforce turns out cars with major flaws.
