NDS, There is not anything wrong for making a $20.00/ hour as an assemly technician, if the business they work for can afford it and make more than at least a 4% profit margin, less than that and the investor may as well put the millions in a CD. What the problem is when there are 1400 people making $20/ hour the work can be done with 1000 people but due to poor work ethics, lack of pride in work, and what ever reasons the other 400 are there making the same cash sitting on their butt. In some , not all, factorie a pay for performance scale would eliminate the "slackers" which cost manufacturers millions, and reward the (wanted and needed and irreplacable) employees with probabaly a better rate and benifit package than the get by the union contract book. If you hired 3 people and after 30 days you had to pay them all the same regardless of there attendance, quality, actions, or performance, would you want to be bound like that? Yes higher wages are good sometimes, but after 30 years of increases anything made in the US cost more, everything we buy cheap ( so we can spend more on that new truck to show every one we have good wages) is made in another country, soon so will that truck. Heck steel prices are nutts, how much of that steel is from the US? Some day all this cheap stuff will be high priced also, and many of us will not be making a good income cause there will be very jobs that you can make a living at. Do I run to walmart to buy a freezer made in china so I can save $20? Heck no I will buy one that is made in St. Cloud MN and pay what I need to , because if I dont, I will be part of the issue of putting freinds and neighbors out of a job.
