People got hurt all the time trying to do their job and pushed to hit so many cars an hour. Some people arent book smart, they can work with their hands. They should be allowed to make a good living be able to support a family. How well would most here do on 10 bucks an hour?
Costco is also rare not the norm because they feel a well paid happy employee stays a long time so in the end it costs them less in the long term. Most companies dont give a shit, its get as much as possible for as little as possible. If you make your living in porn a strong middle class is paramount to you making a living.

Nearly everyone in my family either is in or was in factory work or something just as rough. I know very well what it is like. The benefits are still a perk not a right or anything else. People decide what they will work for and where. The big difference is that they happen to be working for a company large enough to potentially get it from. There are countless people working back breaking jobs with no benefits all over this country. Just about name the industry and there is people being eaten up. Have one cousin who is not even thirty yet and both of his knees are shot from laying carpet. Father ended up with a fucked up back after being hit by a crane, also working somewhere with no benefits at the time.
If Costco is the rare and not the norm, and Costco is still in business and the car companies and those who have such problems are in trouble what does that tell you? Perhaps companies ran like Costco are better suited for today's life and older companies who have the past mindset are not. Can we not make room for more companies that are willing to step up and be responsible? Especially since nearly every large company has been created when other large ones fell and times were very hard money wise.
