Hey Everyone!
Well, while doing the reading for tomorrows class I came upon the portion about Reo workers and what they did outside of the factory. Although my topic deals with women's leisure, it was still a cool connection. In this case, the men's outside organizations dealt with the factory as a "family," with everything coming back to managerial control. However, they did have involvement in sports, games, picnics, etc. See you all tomorrow!
I actually found the found the book very interesting. As I stated in my blog, I drive an Oldsmobile SUV and it was a little weird that I had never thought about the history of the industry. I think that collectively think about Ford's history more often than any other vehicle industry. I wonder why that is. It was cool to read about how they formed a community of "family" and how in a short time the industry changed and lost the sense of it. Just thought I'd share...lol.
