I don't know what I have to do to paint this picture, but what was this lady doing to earn $18 per hour? Was it a position that required great skill? Was she putting the size sticker on the leg of the jeans?

Something else that I find union people clueless on is the cost of health insurance. She has to contribute $24 per week to health insurance!!?? OH MY GOD!!!!!!! What a tragedy!!! I'll guarantee you it is a $15-25 copay, somthing close to 100% coverage, probably 90-10 at worst. If she were to purchase that policy, it would cost her $500 per month minimum, probably more, but I won't give a worst case. Add that additional $400 minimum per month onto her pay, because health insurance should not be required of a company to provide.
