How can someone say 56K a year is not overpaid fo rline work? Teachers start out about 35K and have 4 year degrees plus student teaching. Nurses make less than that. Line workers do not require any skills or education. I am not even talking about skilled trade.
So maybe they do stand and lift and tax thier bodies and they should IMO get paid well for that. However, people break thier backs loading at Home Depot overnight for $9 an hour etc. not ot mention I know not all line jobs are extremly physically taxing.
Also these buy outs;when a teacher gets let go due to decling enrollment, she does not get huge lump sums, free education, contunued pay.
I am sure many white collar people are making too much to do too little, and when you compare UAW pay to that, it seems like literally peanuts. BUT comapre UAW pay and perks to the rest of the free world and the perspective changes.
