a guy who almost gets his hook in


 "If an auto factory
 let people come in 
and build autos 
whenever they felt like it
 and 
 quit when they got tired 
or wanted to go do 
something else for a while
 paying them piece-work
 that would be market organization"

whats wrong with this scene ....

===================



 yes it wouldbe different

  his point in context

large scale 
industrial production outfits
need  hierarchies 

cause their only piece rate

is at the collective level 

 their individual output
      can't be 
unit counted quality rated   
  and paid accordingly 


 

like a team of  apple orchard pickers 
"might"
 get paid 

and  of course  timing 
pressures 
might cause there to be some in out rules 

and errr

theft  checked at the gate 

and  wreckage 

to limbs  and  such

blast off techniqiues as tree shakes 
band 
so now a need for supers 
 begins  to emerge 


   commercial production
of 
    a composite product 

has its piecable limitations 

---------------------------------
 piece rating  
  like share croppin
  has no "need"
  for  visible whips

 cause there is no reward for slacking
only the lose of opportunity 


but hell

  "what remains unbuilt
      remains also
unmissed

 "what  potential
  may  lying dormant
    in the lap of society "



fortunately

the beneficiary
  of 
exploited production  
 soon tires
   of any  "natural" pace 

lets squeeze em 

------------------------------------------
  the
  cents per apple  rate 
 goes down 
  picking service income 
   now requires more speed 
to make enough 

 average picks per hour rise 

as piece rates fall 

win win 

    maybe 
the  notional
hourly  wage rate 
 holds  steady

they  speed up enough to keep it level 

by raising  total units per hour per picker 

and
now  value (apples)
      " picked and gathered " per hour 
is up 

  nice   

but what if like cars

one operation falls another 

a line 
can not be pieced unless
there are  tasks
  holding bins etc etc 
no line 
slows output 

even with piece rates
  for each operation

partly made cars can't go in bins 
at each stage 

mybe if you had two levels 

with stages transitioning to the next
by an up elevation or a down 
each spot  with a start burst of   shunts
  each to the next  availible operative ....



   


  if piece work were used to the max

would whips go to a min

 how did procuction
get so 

 un natural

why is it almost all time waged now ?????????


 love of foremen 

gettin wet
cause

ya can 

 bring on the whips ....

-------------------------

then there's another problem



 "the market maker "
  right outside 
 the   orchard's 
       exit gate 

can he fuck 
 with 
 piece rates too 

by telling the orchardeer  

the buy rate per apple is....
 
"take it or leave
it  mr smallville ...
who the fuck else
 comes to these parts 
with an apple cart and cash "
