II Essay (60 pts.): In a well-organized and factual essay that
contains both an introduction and a conclusion, answer the following question.
Ben
Hamper’s Rivethead: Tales from the
Assembly Line is a remarkable tale focusing on the nature of assembly line
work at General Motors during the late 1970s and early 1980s. It is among other
things, quite an indictment of General Motors’ management practices, ironically
coming from an unhinged worker. Being as
specific and detailed as possible, describe Hamper’s portrayal of management
style and managers. To what degree do
you think that Hamper’s account is at all truthful, and what convinces you that
he is on target, or not?
