Being a IBEW member I do feel for the workers to a point ! There union leaders should have realized what all there benies would cost down the road. I do not believe they are "unskilled labor", however my total benefit package w/wages is at $66 hr. Now to me
I am a highly skilled worker and even though I make aprox $15 per hr more there package is more than mine ??
I think I am fairly paid. Some of the perks these guys get r retarded. I think they should do a 20% reduction across the board, no bonus's for execs untill they truely become profitable again. I no I would take a pay dec. if I new it would keep me working! They must really think and look at the big picture before they elect there union reps. It can not be blue vs. white
Wake up UAW or you will be no more..
