+1 tand truthfully i cant wait for all the caw plants to close down and all these people used to making tons of money with no education have no jobs and no money then you can go out into the real world and see what its like

@Solarian

I realize this is an innapropriate question, but how much do you make? How much do your parents make?
Everytime I’ve seen the wages of auto workers publicized, they are MONSTROUSLY overpaid. There are line workers out there with zero education that are easily doubling my take home, if not tripling. Meanwhile I hold a Bachelor of Engineering in Aerospace, and work in the Aerospace industry. You know how much we pay our workers? $10/hr. We’re not unionized. If they don’t like it, they can go elsewhere. This is why we’re profitable, because we’re not paying every Joe in the plant $30-40 hr to do nothing all day.
