[DeTomaso] (NPC) Now, how many of you have import marque cars sitting in yourgarages?(was: How can this happen in America)

You missed the point. Skilled Trades make the top hourly rate in the
factory. Production workers make a few bucks less. 

Personally, I would not want an assembly line job unless it paid a bunch of
bucks MORE than the skilled trades jobs. The final assembly line speed is
set up for 77 cars per hour. No one shoots more than 5 bolts in any one car.
You have 46.7 seconds to do your job on each car.

Jim.
Who said $30/hr for an electricians wage is too much?? Electricians are 
skilled labour. I think $30/hr for installing door panels is too much. And 
yes, there are alot of other wrongs with the industry, including overpaid 
management. Where's the bullshit?
