GE Appliance plant, 90% union in "right-to-work" state, approve strike by 98%. 60% have to work second job, health care plan too expensive for 30%, most don't make enough for one-bedroom in city (labornotes.org)

Interesting that they're still GE appliance when they're no longer apart of General Electric and are owned by Harier.

I'm surprised things are that bad in a union plant. I live near a GM auto plant and the waiting list for employment is months or years long due to the compensation they offer. The main reason I don't work there is I can't afford to spend years of my life working minimum wage and waiting to be noticed by the Union.
