Re: American Axle may close, makes parts for H-3
I'm betting that the axle plant employees would LOVE to be making 50-60$ an hour. I'm calling BS.
In so cal, a frickin' union nuclear plant operator barely makes $40 an hour (of this I know).
Here's what's killin' on the American manufacturing:
Osha rules. They cost a mint. Granted, they save workers, but that ain't free. Move the plant to Mexico or anywhere else, all that cost becomes nil.
Environmental compliance. Same thing. Move the plant, save a mint.
Everyone loves bashing the unions. Who signed the contract? Who made the money, plenty enough money to sign those contracts?
