I work for a non union company as an hourly worker and I make better wages than a few of the remaining union jobs.The threat of a union has kept me earning a good wage.The unions have caused some problems for themselves and I feel the union is declining.
If you knew how much money management makes/engineers/supervisors where I work.The managers are like congress they vote in their own pay raises.
I make a little over $23.00 an hour,I work a lot of nights a lot of weekends a lot of holidays.My department manager makes about $110,000 a year plus a $10000 to $15000 bonus. My plant manager makes in excess of $125,000 a year plus his bonus.
I cannot totally blame the unions for the jobs being shipped overseas.
A lot of people overseas probably work for I am guessing $5.00 an hour. I would be in poverty in this country if I worked for that kind of a wage. I could go on.
