Wages aren't for boredom
At long last, industry, especially
the auto sector, is -realizing what
housewives figured out eons ago --that
repetitive boring jobs must be given
some variation qn I rneaning.
P-eopLe laughed patronizingly when
housewives headed out from the
homestead in droves 'to take night
courses,paint, sculpt, volunteer,
r drink coffee, garden --anything but
dr Now industry has
y a fatTcy name
for the boredom disease.—
"Lordstown syndrome.'."The-
;•. Lordstown ('Ohio). General 'Motors
plant went on strike recently out of
sheer- boredom--spot-lighting the
combination of fatigue, stress and
depression that shqws up in workers,:
exposed to unbroken monotony and
strain -on-the assembly line.
Lordstown cal led sharp attention to
the fact that young workers these days
are more restless, independent and
rebellious 'than older employees.
(Average age at this plant was. under
25).
Various experiments are being
tried, more time off, ,four-day work
week, and a talked -of six-month year.
Some companies are studying "job
enrichment" schemeswhich motivate
workers with phases of recognition
and job rewards.
In„Germany, Lufthansa, lets many
employees work as much or as little
as they please., ,Sweden'•$ Saab-Scania,
• has robots to do the monotonous
assembly line operation, leaving
workers -free to produce an .entire
engine, instead of just one part. It
shows that these days wages aren't for
boredom.
