His concern about whether the next high C will crack and degenerate into an ignominious squeal-or whether his voice will simply refuse to make any sound at all-keeps him in a constant state of apprehension.

In the complex, highly automated auto industry, new machinery, new methods and new models force automakers into constant time studies, constant revisions of job standards. But there is little friction because G.M. and Ford agree wholeheartedly with the U.A.W. that time study is not an exact science, but a starting point for bargaining about base pay and incentives...
