I hate to get in the union talk I live in a wtw state.If the pay isnt there more to next job your 401 will follow you.If the management *** move on.On average you will change jobs every 5 years.I have worked same one for 11.When can 35 to 40 dollars and hour seem right to put dashboards in and plug 3 to 4 harness plugs in.I knew a man that had that job but it went to mexico.$30000 for a new car I dont see how they make any money on them at all.I get paid very well for the area im in.I dont jockey a desk just a van.I know men that can given a few weeks do my job as well as I do.They are gearheads driving trucks working lines ect.What about fuel control.Let them get the information wont take them long.Well ac trucks have more programing.They are cracking factory systems to not have to buy the 500 to $700 programers on the market.After 11 years in this Iv learned a lot.Put a good man with me for a few weeks and he will know how to figure his way out 90% of the time. Dont get me wrong Iv seen men who didnt know spit come in and work for a while who said they have been doing this for 25 years they also didnt want to learn.We as single members can be replaced.The best you can do is make it hard for them to find a tech with the information you have.After all information is still king of this trade.Not skill.
