I find that the modern day union is nothing more than a means for people to live the give-me lifestyle. When unions were formed it was the only way to recieve a fair wage and to increase safty in the work force. Todays unions are nothing more than a way to make products overpriced.
The person who works for GM installing lugnuts makes 60-80k a year with benifits. I'm sorry but I concider this to be unskilled entry level labor. And the price of the vehicles reflects the waste of money going into unskilled workers.
The Food lion stores in my neck of the woods will only hire union baggers and clerks, Once again IMO unskilled entry level positions for highschool kids.
I work as a wrench and when I started I made less money than I did when I worked as a plumber. I took the hit and looked at the big picture now many years later I make more money than alot of my friends who went to college (I dropped out for finacial reasons).
I do get alot of people who look down thier nose at me because I "work on cars" but guess what most of those people need me more than I need them. I guess what I'm trying to get at is you have to put in the time and look at the end game. Unions and useless degrees are just a way to shortcut the big picture. In the end it all comes out in the wash.
