Hello guys! Long time i posted. Huh?
Well the fact is that the company i work at is using the Toyota Model of "Exellence" in their production line. 'Lean production' in otherwords.
The place is virtually falling apart with stress related health problems
and sick-leave. Employe shortages and employment stop. I'm really beat today, i've been working too much and have been switched to an older workplace which i hated and don't get along with some of the other workers. Getting in touch with unions seem almost impossible since their office was closed today with a number to reach posted at the door. They are aware of the problem though (i heard). I started reading alot about this issue and got more entangled in it due to a component in the production method.

I almost 'puked' due to what i was reading. I felt myself informed though, and told the others at my other workplace about this issue, and they were aware of the symptoms but not of the end result (or lingo used).
As i read alot and have and have a reader's head for english (which is where the information is really happening). They (and a union representative) suggested that i get into the union actively as a representative. I'm unsure what to do at this stage. I'm pissed off! Thats for sure. And i feel alot for the people who worked REALLY hard before the Kaizening happened. I don't consider myself a communist, but one doesn't have to be one to know that things are going really bad for society at large.
Thanks for reading since i don't know
who to turn to with how i'm feeling.
Have any of you guys out there been having these problems at work?
I dread what will happen in the future!
Peace out!
