[QUOTE="aplusmnt, post: 290208, member: 1399"] No doubt there are some Factory jobs that are very dangerous and some that are not, but that is not the factor involved in pay all times. Besides the occupations you mentioned are not Factory Workers, we are talking assembly line Factory workers making products. I used OKC as an example comparing OKC Factory Jobs to an OKC Auto Plant comparing economies with no variables. It will most likely be that way no matter where you go, I would venture to bet that a Factory in Detroit, union or no union making any other product besides auto's does not make anything close to what a worker at an Auto Plant does. Just like it was in Oklahoma City. No matter how admirable or how hard working these Auto Workers are that does not change the fact that they are human and can get greedy, greed is not exclusive to white collar workers. At some point in history some unions like the UAW went from trying to get a fair wage and work environment which was the original reason for Unions in the first place, to greedy, selfish self indulging entities that were not content with Fair, they want More, More, More, even if it is not there to give they just want more, Much like a spoiled Kid. The biggest point I have tried to make is Why blindly buy Chevy, Ford and Dodge like they try to get us to, just because they USE to be American made. If a person wants to buy American they better smarten up and figure what really is American now days. Is a Ford made in Mexico more American that a Toyota Camry Made in the U.S.? Is a Dodge with a Mitsubishi motor American made? I am not anti union nor anti American. I am pulling for them Poor Janitors in NYC starting a Janitorial Union trying to go from a poverty wage to a livable wage. But I will not pull or give my prayers away so freely for an Auto Worker that is so stupid to price themselves out of the Market. The Unions of my grandfathers day are not the Same Unions of my day, and unless someone invents a time machine and I can go back and live in his era. I will have to base my opinions, prayers and dollars on the time I am living in. As our founding fathers would likely be ashamed of the shambles the political system is today. I would also bet the union founders of past that gave blood, sweat and their lives for a Fair wage would be ashamed to see how gluttonous some Unions are today. [/QUOTE]
