I'm not familiar with the book, but the reason for maximal suckiness is simple enough.  Once the pro-labor majority faded into a functional minority in the 1970s, it was just a matter of time.  We just needed to remove the institutional memory from the workplace before the full effects could be implemented, and now, we're there.

I retired on April Fools Day, and its been long enough for me to depressurize and gain the beginnings of some perspective.  We've allowed -- even encouraged management to abuse the workforce.  We pay them bonuses for being what they are.  What else should we expect?
