Answer:
(i) At first, workers
at the Ford factory were unable to cope with the stress of working on assembly
lines in which they could not control the pace of work. So they quit in large
numbers.
(ii) In desperation
Ford doubled the daily wages to $ 5 in Jan. 1914. At the same time he banned
trade unions from operating in his plants.
(iii) Henry
Ford recovered the high wage by repeatedly speeding up the production line and
forcing workers to work even harder.
(iv) So much so, he
would soon describe his decision to double the daily wage as the 'best
cost-cutting decision' he had ever made.
