You're getting screwed by your union. This really goes for anybody working for a union. This isn't the early 1900's. Why are you in a union? You're not going to be forced into 18 hour workdays and you will get paid competitively and you will get health insurance. All your union is doing is bleeding your employer dry and handing over our auto industry to the Japanese.

American employees working for Toyota certainly seem happy and they don't have a union.

So if you're called on to strike, I say give your union leader the middle finger and report to work. Otherwise you'll be out of a job anyway and you'll screw the country.
