He crapped on??? A willing employer said I will pay you X and the willing employee said I will work for X. Free market capital system in play. Is the market adjusting....YES. Is this family adjusting...YES. Are there people sitting in judgment, yes. And it is your right to go after this fair game...YES. Is it reprehensible in my opinion, yes. Lots of Americans are hurting and they don’t deserve it.
The crapping occurred in his previous job where as a union member he destroyed his own job.
His present actions are not viewed in an unfavorable light. His poor pay is the result of lazily not educating himself years ago.
I don’t know about “willing” - he was in a UAW shop.
I’m not picking on him. I’m picking on the unions that ultimately put both the employees out of work and employers out of business. And I like to take aim at the MSM that looks for poster-child sob-stories like this one to support the poor unions against bad evil employers.
None of us know this guy so it isn’t personal. He’s merely symbolic of the bigger problem - we have structural issues in our economy if blue-collar HS grads can make north of 100K. You KNOW that it can’t last, and it won’t have a happy ending.
