Yakk: You're only looking at one employer. There is a whole raft of workers that is off of MegaKorp's books, but which is nevertheless employed by someone. The parts aren't made by elves. Moreover, i do not buy the assumption that MegaKorp's workers produce something capitalistically quantifiable during layoffs. Toyota isn't based in Toyota for nothing.
JIT is imposed on suppliers and workers because MegaKorp can. GM & Furd probably would if they could, but they can't. It's a question of political power.
