I agree with the Freak. I was watching the news the other night and they stated the average hourly wage with benefits included of US auto workers was $77. The average of Japenese workers was $44. they intereviewed a worker and he was whining that he couldn't survive on any thing less. I work at Team Industries, when the company isn't doing well, every one makes financial sacrifices. In the auto industry, they act like they are brain surgeons and no one else could possibly do the work they do. I wouldn't be suprised that if we bail/loan them tons of money, the workers will go on strike because they need more money. Yeah, I don't want to see them lose their jobs, but come on, suck it up, make a car that gets half way decent gas mileage, take a cut in pay and deal with it like the rest of us.
