Days of the $30.00 per hour line worker are gone. Even skilled trades have been hit.
I saw an interview with two workers a couple weeks ago and they said they were currently making 68k a year. They said this was a drop in pay from the early 90's because of overtime cuts, but 68K for a person that works on a line? That's crazy IMO. The UAW needs to give some things up or the American companies will never be able to compete.
