...some areas Volvo and Saab-Scania are using a team-production method, in which auto and truck components are assembled by semi-autonomous groups of four to seven workers each. At times they can decide in what order to tackle their tasks and even who their foreman will be. In another method, the men move along the line with the cars performing each successive assembly operation. The automakers are also rotating some assembly-line workers to different jobs.

Trouble at the building site began almost as soon as ground was broken. The Government's general contractor, J.W. Bateson Co., of Dallas, started construction in the fall of 1968. When the work crew arrived from Local 210, a convicted bookie was on hand to serve as union foreman. The union official in charge of keeping time cards for the laborers was 300-lb. Sammy Lagattuta.
