British Motor Corporation Story
BMC was the largest British car company of its day, with (in 1952) 39 percent of British output, producing a wide range of cars under brand names including ...
Luckily the Germans and Japanese came over and showed us how to build cards
properly ..now we have high quality MINIs , Rolls Royces and Bentleys...so
a happy ending after all...strange how those who lost the war won the
peace...
The only reason why they were successful is because they were mainly foward-thinking ( without having much opposition from old-past it-dinosaurs & militant workers)they listened to people's ideas, collectively invested the right amount of money on decent resources & had the right types of managers, running their companies & they understand the words luxurious-quality & cheaper quality & they refuse to cut-corners in quality & to top it all off, they all work with their unions & every employee has a say in the business, every employee is well-paid ( More so than in Britain.) & their trades are highly-valued. In Britain, those trades aren't valued as much, unlike in Germany & Japan. If employees feel under-valued & worthless, they won't attempt to produce, quality & reliable goods. If Britain had adapted these methods in the 60s, we'd still have a manufacturing base today.& we would have less feral scumbags roaming the streets in gangs. There'd be more gangs of industrial employees.
The biggest mistake Britain I think made, was to continue to allow the
'them & us' attitude, well into the late 80s which helped kill it off, both
from the management & worker perspectives. Even in Labour-run councils,
it's still the same to some degree today. Germany however worked with their
unions & the union & the management work side by side each other as
industry partners, which sadly isn't understood by many in the UK. That's
why they're successful & we aren't today. Also a lot of nepotism occurs in
councils & in other industries which annoys workers with aspirations of
promotion ( who've sacrificed time, effort & expense on correspondence
courses, degrees, etc) & causes lower quality of products or services. I've
worked for some complete & utter pricks in my time & I can understand the
frustrations of ' we're management we know best & who do you think you're
talking to?' When In fact they don't know everything or anything at all
about the job & or industry-as they're complete dodos, as they're fucking
daddy or uncle got them a management job & they are less qualified than the
rival candidates at the interview. These sorts usually also look down their
noses upon lower ranking managers & the workers too- which doesn't help
industrial relations or make them effective operational, managers.
Whenever there is social class division, things like this will happen.. but here again, whoever call for classless society will be condemned as a ..'communist' trying to ...spread & share .. poverty...
+MarineAqua45 This will perpetuate the argument but the Them and Us still exists in the UK, probably more so now than ever. I'd love to make a dramatic film chronicling just about every industry that once thrived in England/UK and mixed in the urban decay of thousands of towns, factories and railways for starters.
+MarineAqua45 ..... Good of you & good for the British people... that you speak up so that ...the Elites' Nepotism role in the downfall of the British Motor vehicle industry...is make known... to the world over... & for the future generations....Let's hear what the.... Lords & the Nobles of the British Empire... have to say....
This was the golden era for BMC, can't blame the decline on any one reason,
there were several issues.
Leyland motors were a very successful truck and bus maker who merged with
government encouragement with Austin-Morris Nuffield (BMC) and
Standard-Triumph (with whom they had already took over) it went downhill
after that with government, management, unions and in many cases..lazy
workers.
Owned by PACCAR of America. Ironic it ended up American really. Had Mr Benn allowed the loss making Standard Triumph to die or be bought by the yanks (that's what he really didn't want) we might still have had UK large car maker. Leyland Motors (the truck company had their arm twisted to buy and "save" Standard T. They then bought other hopeless car companies and a once very strong truck maker was fatally weakened then had to be nationalised.
You can blame Tony Benn for all of it. BTW Leyland trucks is still a very successful truck builder. Their factory at Leyland is the most efficient truck plant in Europe.
