Idk....that's not my decision. What I would like to see is a federally mandated profit share. A certain % of companies gross profit should be distributed amongst the workforce. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it makes the worker feel like they’re getting something for being productive and watching the bottom line. Ford, GM, and Chrysler all do profit sharing with the UAW guys.

Well....take for example GM Ft Wayne. 66k base isnt getting you very far. They all work 50-60 or more hours per week to have any shot at decent comfort. The company I work for has a scale that's even lower. Most guys work 60+ hours per week just to get close to 100k. I'd literally rather be poor than a slave and so I am poor. I'm really struggling to adjust to making so little money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These companies make billions. Look at this stupid bitch Bara brag about how they can fuck over middle class workers even harder now You’re out to lunch. Shift premiums, OT, top notch benefit package. Most would be grossing 80-85k quite easily. That’s top 20th percentile in the nation for a job that essentially requires little to no skill or education. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
