Nummi
My grad seminar in worker participation was covering Levine and Tyson's paper in Blinder's "Paying for Productivity," and we realized that their key example of a successful workplace with participation is the GM-Toyota Nummi plant. There's a little sleight of hand, however; when they get to the 'Interaction of Firm and Environment' section, they rename the plant Munni, and claim it has gains-sharing (a key ingrediant for successful participation according to LT). Does anyone on the pen-l network know whether Nummi has any form of gains-sharing? Does anyone know the basis of pay there (I thought it was a pay-for-knowledge system). Help either over pen-l or to [EMAIL PROTECTED] would be most appreciated. Cheers, Bob Drago
