Clara Flores, 54, a hem sewer in San Antonio who has been at the company for 24 years and was president of the plant's union, says that Levi's is providing retraining and other benefits. But she says it will be hard to find work with the benefits she had at Levi's: $18 an hour in wages, four weeks of annual paid vacation, and family medical and dental benefits for $24 a week. "Where are we ever going to find something like this?" she asks.
That means a worker could make a maximum of $37,440 per year minus the $1,248 for insurance. I guess we can blame the Union for driving Levi out of the country by demanding such an outrageously high standard of living for their long term employees! How about 24cents an hour for China workers! Yes Doug your right I see no need for Labor Unions, we can trust Businesses to be fair!
