Default A Rant from a tradesman

I agree with Wayne I am a trades man and have to keep up all my tickets ie. gas, refrigeration, electrical, and sheet metal and pay fees for each which allows me to make less than a autoworker. When I need work I have to beat the bushes for a job unlike autoworkers who can sit at home and collect 80% of their wages and full benifits because they are entitled to it. Am I BITTER, YOU BET!!! It is a small wonder they are in the shape they are in and it is time for a reality check like what Chrysler is saying to the Canadian autoworkers. The amount of training that I have to take to keep up with new equipment and control systems is eating up more and more time but I have to keep up and I don't get paid to do it unlike the autoworkers. Instead I build a car for myself and as we all know it takes far more skill than working on a assembly line.
RANT OVER
Cheers Greg
