Unions cause more problems than good. Glad I’m not union but still get the pay increases from the union contracts 😃 ---

In the US, the more money you make, the easier your job gets (in general). Right or wrong, it just always seems to work out that way. ---

One of the few companies in America that still needs a union is UPS. Management treats their employees like crap. The drivers, preloaders, ect… bust their ass and management gives them no recognition, at least in the 5 years I was a Supervisor for UPS. ---

You have to put in your time to make that kind of money and its deserved. You can work their just part time, make over 20 a hour, and retire from their part time when your 50 and get a $2500-3000 a month pension. I basically have free benefits (20 a month). I have stock options and all other kinds of discounts and benefits. I have no problem with people making money. I do have a problem however with people who think because they went to college they should be the only ones who earn money. Thats a little rediculous. ---

Alright, I can agree with that and using UPS was a bad example to compare to assembly line workers considering the physical strain working at UPS puts on you. ---

I’m making more money now then I ever have (~100K) for doing the same shit that I used to get paid 30K a year to do. Sometimes I laugh at that fact, but the shit that I do now helps keep America safe, guess you can’t put a price on that. ---

IDk about Gm but the base where I work is poverty level. You have to be at UPS for a while to make that kind of money. I agree with you though, its UAWs fault, but also GMs, but I dont think GM ever thought this would happen.
