PPilltil1g uut also the t lpptlsitioll workers had fo r union· baL'ked drives of this kind .'11 Closdy rdated til low productivity, it seems. is the employee resistance to working overtime, even during economic recession. The refusal of thousands of Ford workers to work overtime prompted a Ford executive in April, 1974 to say, "We're mystitied by the experience in light of the general economic situation."71 Also during April, the Labor Department reported that "the productivity of American workers took its biggest drop on record as output slumped in all sectors of the economy during the first quarter."n In 1935 the NRA issued the Henderson Report, which counseled that "unless something is done soon, they [the workers 1 intend to take things into their own hands."" Something was done: the hierarchical, national unions of the CIO finally appeared and stabilized relations. In the 1970s it may be that a limited form of worker participation in management decisions will be required to prevent employees from "taking things into their own hands." Irving Bluestone, head of the UA W's GM department, predicted in early 1972 that some form of participation would be necessary, under union-management control, of course." As Arnold Tannenbaum of the Institute for Social Research in Michigan pointed out in the late 19605, ceding some power to workers can be an excellent means of increasing their subjection, if it succeeds in giving them a sense of involvement." But it remains doubtful that token participation will in any way assuage the worker's alienation. More likely, it will underline it and make even clearer the true nature of the union-management relationship, which will still obtain. It may be more probable that traditional union institutions, such as the paid, professional stratum of offici als and representatives, monopoly of membership guaranteed by management, and the labor contract itself will be increasingly re-examined'6 as workers continue to strive to take their work lives into their own hands. NEW YORK, NEW YORK "l1rnid All the Camaraderie is Much I,ooling this Time; Seeing the City /ll.mppcar. " -Wall Street Journal headline, July 1 5, 1977 Tht: Journal went on to quote a cop on what he saw, as the great Ilastille Day break-out unfolded: "People are going wild in the borough " f Brooklyn. They are looting stores by the carload." Another cop added later: "Stores were ripped open. Others have been leveled. After they looted, they burned." At about 9:30 p.m. on July 13 the power went out in New York for 24 hours. During that period the complete impotencc of the state in our most "advanced" urban space could hardly have been made more transparent. As soon as the lights went out, cheers and shouts and loud music announced the liberation of huge sections of the city. The looting and hurning commenced immediately, with whole families joining in the "carnival spirit." In the University Heights section of the Bronx, a Pontiac dealer lost the 50 new cars in his showroom. In many areas, tow trucks and other vehicles were used to tear away the metal gates from stores. Many multi-story furniture businesses were completely emptied by neighborhood residents. Despite emergency alerts for the state troopers, FBI and National Guard, there was really nothing authority could do, and they knew it. A New York Times editorial of July 16 somewhat angrily waved aside the protests of those who wondered why there was almost no intervention on the side of property. "Are you kidding?" the Times snorted, pomtmg out that such provocation would only have meant that the entire city would still be engulfed in riots, adding that the National Guard is a "bunch of kids" who wouldn't have had a chance. The plundering was completely multi-racial, with white, black and Hispanic businesses cleaned out and destroyed throughout major parts of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx. Not a single "racial incident" was reported during the uprising, while newspaper pictures and TV news bore witness to the variously-colored faces emerging from the merchants' windows and celebrating in the streets. Similarly, looting, vandalism, and attacks on police were not confined to the City proper;
