For NPR dorks like me it doesn’t get much better than This American Life.
So it’s totally exciting that this week’s show, scheduled for Saturday at noon on 88.5 FM, will be about NUMMI.

And today’s Argus:

300 out of 4500 employees (~7%) are on leave because of an on the job “injury”, and will be receiving the low-tier severance package of 21K.
I wonder how that 7% figure compares to real world employment.
“NUMMI is trying to get away with saving money by screwing people” say, NUMMI worker Sal Gomez.
I don’t think NUMMI is the party who’s been doing the screwing.
