28$ an hour with retirement and health benefits is barely a living wage? And overtime?
At a 2000 hour-a-year number, that is 56k. Plus quite good benefits.
Heck, I think GM is at close to 3 retired workers per active worker. Think about that for a second -- that is a huge liability, especially if the markets aren't being friendly to your pension plan.
