I didn't look at the link, but since it said Detroit I'll assume it wasn't talking about the NUMMI plant in California.
That place was absolutely miserable. They had union workers intentionally dropping bolts into sensitive places in the cars so that it would stop the line. If those bolts weren't found, they could have meant death for the driver. They just didn't want to work, so they thought that was a good idea.

Overall, though, it's the bigness of the car that counts the most. Because when something bad happens in a really big car – accidentally speeding through the middle of a gang of unruly young people who have been taunting you in a drive-in restaurant, for instance – it happens very far away – way out at the end of your fenders. It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
