Heh, he even came to Hong Kong to give the HKAOA a seminar on the book - what to watch out for from management if the union went ahead with industrial action
Of course, being from America he missed the obvious one. Cathay management just sacked most of the union committee, plus a number of others (the 49'ers), once industrial action started.
Just to add - the advice he gave was very US specific - i.e. that 95-99% of threats or information from or by management were bluffs, with a kernel of truth.
This was wrong advice in a HK environment. Management told the union that the final offer was final, and any industrial action would be punished. Based (partly) on Levitt's advice (and also DALPA consultants) the AOA went for a US style industrial campaign - which didn't work.
