Need for Speed Has Workers Seething


Need for Speed Has Workers Seething
By NANCY CLEELAND, Times Staff Writer

A decade-long obsession with productivity has been healthy for the
corporate bottom line, but workers say they are paying for it with
exhaustion and pain.

Job speedup is emerging as atop complaint for low-wage employees in
sectors as diverse as food processing and tourism. It has become a
pivotal bargaining issue in some union contracts. And increasingly,
health and safety experts consider it a source of injury and illness.

The subject is crucial to many aging workers, who see a future in
which they would be unable to keep up the pace.
