Joe, I rather have a job paying $10-12 an hour than not have a job at all. It sure beats the heck out of UAW wages of $60-$75 an hour that will be lost altogether when the Auto's go belly up.
Still repeating that nonsense swampy, UAW wages are more in the range of $20-25 an hour, less for many less skilled jobs covered by the contract. But it made a great talking point for the union bashers to misrepresent that figure. As for those $10-12 an hour jobs, those are also going away, or did you not get the point as usual. The corporations would be happy for them to all go away and just leave behind the $8 an hour jobs flipping burgers (lower wages will apply in your area where just the federal minimum wage applies).
