    "UNION MEMBER" view!!!

     

    UNION MEMBER!!!"

    Good Morning!!!

    I have been a member of the Boilermakers Union since 1987,thats over 21 yrs, I believe this problem does not lie with the UAW!!! These people are the working class of America, the folks packing a lunch bucket, BLUE COLLAR families. There is a big difference between a person making $60,000 a year and making $600,000 or even 7 figures(millions) that CEO,s and Corp. exes make. Most union workers will show up for work and do as they are told, in this case, build autos. Bussiness decisions are made by CEO,s and Corp. exes, this is why their making the "Big Bucks", so why blame or take money away(concessions) from the man carrying the lunch bucket? $60,000 a year is not alot of money in todays world!!! Break it down....a house payment, a car payment, light bill, water bill, sewer bill, phone bill, real estate taxes, house ins., car ins., food for your family and on and on!!! It just doesn't go far!!! But, again, CEO,s who have made these bad bussiness decisions will make an extremely large amount and aloud to keep their jobs!!! We need to think about this!!!
