Nor do these UAW critics ever acknowledge the fact that it's pretty tough to demand more productivity out of someone getting 25 dollars an hour when the CEO is getting paid 25,000 dollars an hour AND getting a multi-million-dollar golden parachute after his 25,000-dollar-an-hour expertise turns out to be worthless.
But lots of people seem to think that seeing something happen on an assembly line translates into understanding how a global industry works.

Welcome to corporate America--this is commonplace and can't be used to support a "poor me" mentality. And honestly, $25 hr to do assy line work is good pay, especially considering the educational requirements. Sorry, no sympathy for the greedy UAW workers.
