Not to offend anyone but steel workers and auto workers are not worth near what they were paid when you figure in all the benefits....some of them are making more than dentists, and laywers, but look at them now..they overpriced themselves right out of jobs.....other thing about unions...THEY PROTECT THEIR WEAK!
