minus-square@minibyte@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink5•7 months agoMr Fain, I’m a UAW member with a 2.5% 401k match. I’m getting a .75 cent raise in July that puts me at $12 an hour. Please explain to me more about how I’m getting screwed.
minus-square@stoly@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink27•7 months agoI’m confused–do you think that $12/hour is a livable wage? It should be more like $25 - $30.

No, I do not – and I agree.

You know unions are democracies right?
