Good for Tom LaSorda and Chrysler (with an assist from the UAW going along with this core tenet of TPS):

United Auto Workers members have been wary of this idea, a key part of the Toyota production system, because workers feel it weakens job security and erodes a job-classification system that traditionally assigns the best jobs to people with the most seniority.”
