I think the idea of unions was to protect abused workers from low pay and long ours. Since the beginning, the pendulum has swung way in favor of unions. The biggest thing I see is plants closing down in urban areas, and moving to cheaper rural areas. And then from there, just overseas. I would wish they would find a middle ground, where they can both be happy. I am not against unions, but I have seen some friends lose lifetime jobs in plants, where they where making $25 per hour, and the plant closed and moved to NC, and hired workers at $8-10. Now, they can't find any work for unless it's $10-15. Vinnie S. $10/hour is MUCH better than 0$/hour!

Hope everything is good with you and your family. -- Well it ain't the first close call I ever had as I'm sure you already know.

You don't NEED a new car, 2500sqft house, health club membership, Platinum MasterCard w/$10k balance.... If you pay cash for everything and save what you don't spend then a job loss or salary reduction isn't so devastating. Yes I know the "American way" is to spend more than you make and then, hopefully, be able to make the payments between spending sprees.

I paid $225,000. I have a car I bought new for $17,500. I put $9,000 down. I have about $400 outstanding credit card bills. No kids. I do not have any re-occcuring bills like a health club. If I lose my job and make $10 per hour, I am losing everything listed above. If you pay cash for everything and save what you don't spend then a job loss or salary reduction isn't so devastating. So what you are telling me, is that if your family took a 60% pay cut, you would be OK? I don't think so. Yes I know the "American way" is to spend more than you make and then, hopefully, be able to make the payments between spending sprees. There is alot of people like me, whose only bills are a mortgage and a car payment, aside from the utilities/etc. If you cut their pay by 60%, their all in trouble. BTW, I took precaution and have 1 year's worth of mortgage payments in the bank, in case this ever happens. So to answer your question, I would have 1 year before I would be in trouble. Vinnie S. |
