Henry Ford
Although Henry Ford’s name is closely associated with the concept of mass production, he should receive equal credit for introducing labor practices as early as 1913 that would be considered advanced even by today’s standards. Safety measures were improved, and the work day was reduced to eight hours, compared with the ten-or twelve-hour day common at the time. In order to accommodate the shorter work day, the entire factory was converted from two to three shifts. In addition, sick leaves as well as improved medical care for those injured on the job were instituted. The Ford Motor Company was one of the first factories to develop a technical school to train specialized skilled laborers and an English language school for immigrants. Some efforts were even made to hire the handicapped and provide jobs for former convicts. The most widely acclaimed innovation was the five-dollar-a-day minimum wage that was offered in order to recruit and retain the best mechanics and to discourage the growth of labor unions. Ford explained the new wage policy in terms of efficiency and profit sharing. He also mentioned the fact that his employees would be able to purchase the automobiles that they produced -- in effect creating a market for the product. In order to qualify for the minimum wage, an employee had to establish a decent home and demonstrate good personal habits, including sobriety, thriftiness, industriousness, and dependability. Although some criticism was directed at Ford for involving himself too much in the personal lives of his employees, there can be no doubt that, at a time when immigrants were being taken advantage of in frightful ways, Henry Ford was helping many people to establish themselves in America.
尽管亨利 ·福特的名字和大生产的概念相连，但他在劳工保护上得到同样的赞誉，因为他早在 1913 年便实行了用今天的标准来衡量依然是先进的标准。 安全措施得到改进，日工作时间从当时普遍的` 10 或 12 小时减少到8 小时。 为了适应更短的日工作时间，整个工厂从双班变成了三班。而且，病假和改善了的工伤医疗得以制度化。 福特汽车公司是最早建立技术学校来培训专门技工和为移民开设英语学校的工厂之一。 公司甚至为雇佣残疾人和有前科的人而作出了一些努力。最受广泛称赞的革新是实行五美元一天的最低工资。 其目的是招收和留住那些最好的技工并阻碍工会的发展。 福特从效率和利润分享的角度来解释这项新的工资政策。 他也提到这样一个事实，他的员工可以买他们生产的汽车--这实际上是为其产品另开辟了一个市场。 为了够资格得到最低工资，员工必须建立一个得体的家庭并显示出良好的个人习惯，包括节制、俭省、勤勉和可靠。 虽然有人批评福特过多地干涉了员工的私人生活，但毫无疑问，在移民们被用恶劣的方式剥削的时代，亨利 ·福特却帮助了许多人在美国扎下根来。
1、如果你想永远做个雇员，那么下班的汽笛吹响时，你就可以暂时忘掉手中的工作；如果你想继续前进，去开创一番事业，那么，汽笛仅仅是你开始思考的信号。
2、不能提升人民福利层次的工业体制是失败的！如此失败的工业体制对社会又会有何利益呢？
3、任何人只要做一点有用的事，总会有一点报酬。这种报酬是经验，这是世界上最有价值的东西，也是人家抢不去的东西。
4、顾客可以选择他想要的任何一种颜色，只要它是黑色。
5、历史或多或少就是胡说。惟一值得一个修补匠肯定的历史就是我们今天所创造的历史。
6、无论你认为自己行，还是不行，你都绝对是正确的。
7、不要顾忌竞争，谁做事漂亮，他就能在竞争中取胜。
8、合众国的一切，诸如土地、人民、政府和企业，都只是人们选择的`使自己生存更有意义的方式。政府永远只能作为人民的公仆，除此之外他别无选择。倘使人民成了政府的附属物，报复的法则便开始起作用——因为这是一种缺乏道德的、反自然、反人性的关系。不论是企业还是政府，都是我们生活必需的，二者作为仆人被人们需要，就像水和米一样不可或缺。然而一旦他们成为主人，自然法则就遭到破坏。
9、成功的秘诀，在于把自己的脚放入他人的鞋子里，进而用他人的角度来考虑事物，服务就是这样的精神，站在客人的立场去看整个世界。
