Monday Moaning
"[Quoting a previous response:] 'To those who complain that autoworkers make too much hourly. They should try working an hour, the longest hour they've ever worked. By the way they don't make $70 an hour; let's try a third of that.' A third of $70 an hour is a lot of money per hour. It's roughly what I make as a nurse. Where the longest hour of their life is spent cleaning diarrhea in the evening, passing out meds, picking people up off the floor, saving lives, people choking and dealing with families. That's a long hour. There's no way an autoworker should make as much as a nurse. After 32 years of experience and a four-year college degree, I make roughly a third of $70 an hour." - no city
