Sounds outlandish!

You guys believe everything you hear/read. New UAW workers make $14 an hour, have no pension, and are lucky to see health care after retirement. I made $14 just out of high school working part time in college! I can promise you there are
not 20 guys with clipboards walking around every shift making sure benies are adhered to. That doesn't even make sense.
I also love how people consider ALL union workers lazy or slackers. I'll guarantee most of those people are online at work instead of doing actual work.
I just don't understand how people can never of set foot in a factory but be experts about it. I worked in a non-union factory on an assembly line making custom boat trailers and you could not pay me enough to do that repetitive work for more than the 3 years I did it. I won't even get into the daily hazards and amount of accidents I saw. I'd never go back to doing something like that again. At the end of the day you feel like a truck slammed into you and you just want to go home and lay down.
That's just my two cents on the whole thing.
