Carpel tunnell? Give me a f'ing break! Unions have destroyed manufacturing with their B.S!


If you can't pull a crank for 8 hours a day-get a different job.There are lots of 20 y.o.s who would assemble autos at 10 dollars per hour. It's not rocket science.

What you do for a living and how old are you? (If you care to be honest, it is the internet afterall).

It's not rocket science.

No,it's not. They get paid to use their body. Visit a plant and talk to some workers and I'm sure you'll change your mind.

If an assembly worker assembles say, 60 engines per hour, and tightens 3 bolts , that's 1800 times a day (most work mandatory 10 hour days) that the worker's shoulder or hand is absorbing the torque from the gun. Of course those 3 bolts would only be a small part of the work done in one minute.

It's not a pro-union thing for me, I think autoworkers work hard for their money.
