I wholeheartily agree there was a place for the unions 50 years ago however, when US car manufacturers are paying $72 an hour plus benefits and the new KIA plant is paying $32, something is out of whack. $32 an hour for an assembly line worker seems more than adequate to me. In additin, I have a friend who worked on the GM assembly line for 35 years and he used to brag about working only 20 hours of a 40 hour work week and spent the rest of the time playing cards in the break room. He is now retired and living quite nicely on ss and his GM pension. Good for the unions, not so good for a competetive product.
