June 12, 1990

A survey of 200 workers at the Chrysler-Mitsubishi Diamond-Star Motors plant in Bloomington-Normal, Ill., found that: Two thirds said the collaboration between Japanese and United States automakers has a positive effect on the US.

``Very negative or poor'' opinions were expressed by 9 percent about Japanese culture, 13 percent on the Japanese economy, 24 percent about Japanese management methods, and 24 percent on Japanese work practices.

Only one-tenth felt negative about Japanese colleagues.

Fifty-six percent felt Japanese imports to the US must be restricted.
