It's not rocket science.

No,it's not. They get paid to use their body. Visit a plant and talk to some workers and I'm sure you'll change your mind.

If an assembly worker assembles say, 60 engines per hour, and tightens 3 bolts , that's 1800 times a day (most work mandatory 10 hour days) that the worker's shoulder or hand is absorbing the torque from the gun. Of course those 3 bolts would only be a small part of the work done in one minute.

It's not a pro-union thing for me, I think autoworkers work hard for their money.

You presume to know what I've done to get where I am?

Go pound sand.

Your average day laborer works just as hard for 60 bucks a day, and he's happy to get it.

When I was a laborer it was 45, and was happy to get it. You'r average auto worker demands amost that much per hour in wages and benefits.
