ok my math sucks but I was getting paid $19.50 as a heavy equipment operator, I am a union member, and when the scrap market took a dump over 40 out of 120 employees got laid off. I was downsized with many others to a general laborer and lost $5 an hour and 2 hours off my work schedule. Now normally losing 2 hours from a 12 hour shift wouldn't upset me, but those 2 hours were double time. I chose to stay with the company cause the benefits are good and I'm still bringing home enough to survive. (single, no kids, cheap apartment)
