And people wonder why the price of cars is what they are. What other industry pays that much for that service?

Don't all office cleaning staff (i.e. custodians) earn $114,000 a year?

before everyone gets all worked up over the pay it would be interesting to find out how many hours are involved. She is probably working weekends (time and a half or double time) in addition to her normal 40 hours and afternoon shift (5% shift differential).

When I was a maintenance foreman 23 years ago my people made close to $100,000 but we also worked almost every weekend.

That $100,000 23 years ago was setting up GM for the trouble they are in today. Twenty-three years ago I hired on at a major chemical company at $36,500 a year. And that included lots of hours of weekend work and no extra pay for it. It was simply expected. That's with a Ph.D. and a post-doc under my belt. In other words, very highly skilled. That was the average starting salary for a Ph.D. chemist. There is no way on earth that any auto-worker was worth $100,000 back then.

The seeds that were sown at GM back then are bearing bitter fruit today.
