Labor unions have grown into a huge cancer upon the American industrial base. The Ford Plant near my home was shut down last year during their restructure. Shortly before the shutdown announcement, I was able to tour the plant while doing some training there. I came upon a worker whose job it was to remove door skins from a wheeled car and place them onto a conveyor chain. That's it... a robot could easily have accomodated this job. The worker's hourly wage - $28.75. The worker was also enrolled in a company paid GED program...<br> <br> So a non-high school graduate is making over $60k yearly to do a job that is neither dangerous nor complicated.<br> <br> And we wonder why American cars and trucks cost so much.<br> <br> Burn down the unions, it's the only thing that will save American industry.
