They both agreedshe would come right over.After George had welcomed her into hisoffice, he leaned forward and, putting his chinin his hands, said, “Carolyn, I feel like I’m sittingon a powder keg here. Last year we putin the new Simplex Process assembly line forour forklifts. It had a rated capacity of 35 unitsan hour. When we installed it, we started up at28 units, which is the same as the old line, toshake it down and get the bugs out. The newline automates more of the assembly, so eachworker has less of a physical demand thanbefore. Well, last week we figured we had allthe bugs ironed out, so we raised the speedto 35. We figure each worker has to put outabout the same amount of effort as under theold system.“This morning, Steve Bonneville, the shopsteward, and three of my general supervisorscame in, all arguing. Bonneville had afistful of grievances and was yelling abouta ‘speedup.’ Anyway, the upshot is that hewants the employees to be advanced one skilllevel to compensate for the additional effortand more difficult working conditions underSection 7.03 of the contract.“Carolyn, we can’t give them a pennymore and remain competitive. Besides that,if they get a raise, the whole plant will paperus with classification grievances. Bonnevilleis running for union president because MattDuff is retiring, and if he’s successful withthis grievance, he’s a shoo-in. All we need is along strike over some penny-ante issue and abunch of hotheads like him running the show.What can you do to help me?”Carolyn had been busy taking notes aboutthe problem. She asked, “Do you have thegrievances?” George nodded and handedthem to her. Then she said, “I’ll study thegrievances, the contract, and the union situationand get back to you in time for us toplan a step 3 response. I’ll be back to you thisafternoon.”

The management of Mitchell Labs decided to go private in 2002 by buying in all 3 million outstanding shares at $19.50 per share. By 2006, management had restructured the company by selling off the petroleum research division for $13 million, the fiber technology division for $9.5 million, and the synthetic products division for $21 million. Because these divisions had been only marginally profitable, Mitchell Labs is a stronger company after the restructuring. Mitchell is now able to concentrate exclusively on contract research and will generate earnings per share of $1.25 this year. Investment bankers have contacted the firm and indicated that if it reentered the public market, the 3 million shares it purchased to go private could now be reissued to the public at a P/E ratio of 16 times earnings per share.
