first of all i am a union worker and i only make about 15 an hour, my benifits are all paid for. so not everybody is making 25 an hour. all you have to do is spend one day in a union shop to see that they are necessary to have. (btw i build the duamax motor) the reason why unions are getting weak is because the people now and days will not unite and stick together, u have union brothers ratting on other union brothers. this is the same problem with the usa right now we are split down the middle.
yea i will admit that 50 and hour is high but u have to look at a few things like how long have they been employed, how much training they have, and the company ageed on the wages they are making.
i think that the number one problem in our country is outsoursing of jobs, i don't know about the rest of u but i do not want to work at any fast food joints because if people keep taking jobs overseas that will be the only jobs out there (oh i forgot the number on outsourser wal m**t will be there)
thank you huck for reminding that even though they move to mexico the price of the truck will not drop, it just makes the big wigs pockets get fatter.
