Some of you have said how these(line worker people) make $65k -100k, and you are rite to a point. The auto plants have MANDATORY over-time. The skilled trade guys are the ones who usually make around 100k and thats w/ mega O.T. If these workers worked a regular year w/ no O.T. they would avg. between 40-50k a year. Thats really not chit...These people work LOTSSSS of O.T. Getting payed when layed off is (80% of there take home pay). Not a bad deal still but I think one reason for that is to keep the ceo's from big layoffs just to get bigger bonus's? I really feel that if ALL were to take a 15% cut across the board w/no bonus's for a while ,cut back on OT,tax foreign products as they do are's, and get med. costs under control the B3 would have No trouble competeing w/ the enemy........
