I'm from Windsor, and GM was there until they closed for good like five years ago or something and they paid like $20+ an hour - to start - to be a janitor, full benefits and everything. My father in law was getting paid almost $30 an hour to drive a forklift around and didn't even have to do that like crazy. Then they closed down and moved their production to mexico and all their cars are being recalled for malfunctioning parts that can kill you. My car has been recalled.
GM was only good to workers cause of the union. They're really bad when it comes to screwing people over for profit
(gm killed the electric car)
that being said, walmart is terrible and they need to pay people more
If you ask the Teabaggers why, they'll scream about the evil unions, forcing higher wages and benefits and killing profits for the poor, honest, hardworking CEOs and shareholders. The Industrial Revolution, along with 18-hour workdays and 10-year-old factory workers and 145 women at a time dying in factory fires, never happened in their minds.
Personally, my only complaint with unions is they sometimes protect the incompetent along with the good workers. Employers should be able to can a fuck-up at least without unions getting involved.
