Gerald Ford: “But I like the team concept of working together, making the assembly line work better, put out a better product, make…”

On the recordMay 8, 1996
But I like the team concept of working together, making the assembly line work better, put out a better product, make more profit for the employer. But if you take this out, if you pass this bill, as I understand it, as my lawyers tell me, then the employer selects the team and that is the end of it. He appoints his son-in-law and a couple of others and that is the end of it, because you do not allow what is going on now. You eliminate the law, and the law then gives the employer the opportunity to select the teams. Now you say, ``Well, that will never happen.'' That is what this law says.
