          The Allies also drew-up a constitution whereby workers were represented on company boards. The hope was that it would slow down manufacturing completion. It turned out to be complete opposite. The ideas from the workers increased productivity.

          I find that most problems with British companies is that that management arte clueless and arrogant.
