Yes, interesting article. And great outcome. I'm promoted to ask, though, what remaining a union-workforce had to do with the outcome? Harley might have achieved that result regardless of their workers' union affiliations. Is the suggestion that the union actively participated in the restructuring and process changes, designing the new factory, etc?
I suppose the (valid) point the article is making is that unions need not be 'broken' to achieve a corporate turnaround.
