Part of the problem is the fantasy wages that people often believe. When I tell people that I used to be in the UAW they assume that I made at least $20 an hour. I didn't, I made just over $12 an hour.

You are are overpaid as long as you are paid more than Mexican laborer. USA should follow Latin American example.

Apparently true. Once the shop figured out that they could use a temp service to hire "temps" for $6 an hour, they started cutting everybody's hours till we were all part time. Eventually nearly all the legal employees went seeking new jobs and the "temps" filled the positions.
