I have to agree. 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.

$10/hour is MUCH better than 0$/hour!

Not if you purchased a home, car, and pay property taxes based on your ability
to earn $25.

No doubt. Hi Kevin, have you heard from Dave or Debby lately? Hope
everything is good with you and your family.

It all comes down to priorities. 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.

Nonsense. I have a 1300 Sq foot house, 1900 if you count the finished basement.
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.

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.
