If you're talking in terms of yearly pay, you'd have to go to the guys with 30+ years of seniority to get even close to that figure. The most my dad ever brought home was $90k/year, and that was back when they worked overtime whenever they wanted to.

Most of their original purpose has been fulfilled (fair compensation, good working conditions, etc) and now they serve the interests of the union, not the workers or the company.

Debatable. Sometimes true, but very debatable. It depends alot on the industry you are talking about. There are still people heatstroking in the warehousing industry because some employers will not put in the measely 5 minutes you are supposed to get during the summer months for heat exaustion every hour.
Trust me, I file at least 5 complaints a week with OSHA in the summer, and those are just the people smart enough to break the time formula down when checking their standards. If everyone did that, I'd be filing over 400. |
