""I worked for British Leyland and never saw, an ununcooperative worker - but I saw dozens of shit management decisions.""

How amusing!...........NOT!

You never saw an uncooperative worker in the company that bid fair to lose the world's largest number of days of production to lightning strikes.

And it was all due to those nasty old bosses wanting to employ one man to handle both nut and bolt, thereby putting one hardworking (though unnecessary and expensive) nut or bolt handler out of work.

A bit of tongue in cheek poetic licence there, but you know damn well that strikes were regularly called on equally nonsensical grounds.

And I wouldn't call striking for 40% pay increases in a firm that was always struggling to survive all that terribly cooperative either.
