To be quite frank I believe that the assembly line is worth most of the wage that is earned, (note I said earned)
What I hate is the following. IE: My wives cousin works at a Ford Plant, he goofs off 1/2 the day by playing video games in a break area while getting paid.
The skilled trades guys are the worst, Punch in then leave for the day and go to the bar, or play pool, or go home and work....Then go back to work and punch out for a full days pay-----Disgusting and I know that this is true.---I dont know a real percentage of guys that do this, put I know that it is true. I have an uncle that did this for years, he is retired now.
There used to be a plant in Detroit called the Detroit forge plant----Gm ran the plant and the machine shop in this plant was very well known for making tractor parts, snowmobile parts and other non-work related items. ---also disgusting.
I have seen with my own eyes a Ford plant that had a machine shop---20,000 sq. feet----30 guys were supposed to be working but most---90% were either reading the paper or standing around bull$hitting.
The amount of work that a UAW technician performs in any given day is about 10% that of any other employee performing same task in a non-union facility. (I am talking skilled trades or semi-skilled functions)
Most of the UAW members try hard, do a good job and are honest but the 20% or so that get a paycheck for doing nothing has ruined the reputation of the UAW. Along with other BS.
THE UAW HAS HELPED TO DESTROY GM, X-SLER, AND FORD------AND THE EXECUTIVES ALLOWED IT TO HAPPEN.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
