The upside is you have a job, the downside is you fall out of the middle class.

And keep in mind that the ONLY reason the plants are not unionized is because they pay the workers more than they otherwise would to keep the union out. If the union disappeared tomorrow, only a fool wouldn't believe the wages at these plants wouldn't drop.

Race to the bottom!
Then they should have invested in human capital. Its not my fault that they are marginally skilled workers and their job is to bolt an automobile together.Its not Rocket surgery and thus should not be paid like one.
