The Free Press is only reporting the facts, and this comment smacks of desperation by the union. I can imagine today that the CAW is royally pissed that their lies have been exposed in the media.
I'm very much on the fence too. Honestly, though, I am a believer that if an unskilled worker wants to make good money in a skilled trade, he or she should go to college - as anyone who reads my posts know I am a big believer in education. As much as I feel badly for my one family member who works for EMD and is locked out, he has nothing past high school and he really should go to college.
I will give him credit though - instead of sitting around complaining like a lot of the other employees who have been posting on the LFP website, he is actively looking for another job.

That London Vitali was responding to me, saying only about 40-50 people get the $34.00/HR.
I'm just peeved that the CAW made everyone buy in and believe that all workers were being offered $16.50 an hour, regardless of who they are. This offer is quite far from the case.
