[QUOTE="Myfast, post: 7428728, member: 19775"] You said it yourself, "when you first start working on an assembly line". Once you do it repetitively it gets to be something that's done without thought or skill. That's the thing, anyone can do it. All the tools you will ever need is handed to you (or even tied to your work area) and it doesn't take much thought after you've been trained. Just get in a daze of doing it and keep on till it's time to clock out. Trust me I've worked on a line before, just not in the automotive field and it does 'suck', I know. Waiting for a floater to relieve you for a break, or to go to the bathroom, doing the samething what seems like countless times per day. With all that said, no one doing that deserves to make what some of the UAW members make, there's no way to justify it. I work in a more skilled field now where things constantly change and you get the chance to see and deal with issues randomly. I've been training as a helper for almost 2 years on a extrusion laminator and will for several more years before I become an operator and make over 20$ an hour. I work for my money 12 hours at a time. My company doesn't have a union and is very anti union yet I have better benifits then most and cant complain about my pay rate or workplace enviroment/safety. The hours and schedule yeah, but that's about it. Some people should just take what's literally handed to them and do what they need to do to earn a living. [/QUOTE]
