Might be a good thing that they are going to leave the union.. Also, 20 dollars an hour in Fon du lac Wi is pretty damn good so why are they bitching!! They can live very very comfortable there on that salary.
Merc leaving Fon du lac for Oklahoma ??

Plus they have a GREAT facility in Stillwater and those folks there would be more than happy to take on the extra work and do an excellent job at it. I have no worries, even if it is Oklahoma.
I am betting most make more than $20 bucks and hour, 15-20 bucks an hour is non union cnc machine operator pay in right to work states.
the reason the motors cost more is for a few things.
less demand makes over head way high. lets say I need 10 different machines to complete that motor at a cost of 1 million and you can run up to 100 motors a day. but do to low demand you only need to run 1 motor a day
its still costing you 1 million wether you run 1 or 100, obviously your profit will be higher running 100 per day than one and your cost per motor will be less then running only 1 You still have standard daily operating cost.
Kinda like when you goto machine shop and want one part vs 100 parts. one part your going to have to charge for set up time lets say 500 bucks, when you order more your setup time is divided into the amount of parts you buy. so now your set up time is divided by the amoun amount of parts ei $5 each + plus the cost of run time etc etc
you have the advancement in techonology, smarter more reliable , more fuel efficient motors than years back.
OK that makes more sence however it more than likely wont happen.
the quality standards will still be there, quality wont go down because of one shop moving to a different location.
what will more than likely happen is that production will be a tad off, usually cause the workers have nothing to really work for so to speak so they dont give a rats ass if they get there job done on time or not. I mean what are they going to do fire them?
Happens anytime a shop is selling out or moving. Most shops know this so they have already allowed for it I am sure.
Now Ken, I never said anythign bad about the union in this case just the fact that it wont screw up quality.
So your saying construction jobs in the arizona home building sector is what Shit ? demeaning?
Maybe the union can come in and take over home building and construction jack the prices way the hell up and sell house for 5 times the price they are now. Wanna bet you would be complaining about the union at that time.
if your trying to compare a union job to something you might want to try the government, MORE WASTE , MORE POLITICS MORE BULLSHIT.
Kinda sucks when you have to work for a lving doesnt it ?
sure everyone would love a job were they dont have to work as hard , get all the benies that the goverenment has and still get paid huge wages, but its not a reality well at least not Yet, once Obama gets his socialism agenda together you will have everything that everyone else has, I think they are calling it "Change".
Just be thankful Merc didnt sell out the the ****ing chinese like everyone else is doing, they could have cut cost alot easy by 75% in the manufacturing section alone. Wasnt it the Unions that wouldnt budge so the auto manufacturers started doing business with ****ING CHINA .
thats another bad thing about the unions, they have a prce which is usually extreamly HIGH and they wont budge. however others in manufacturing have to budge if we dont the shits goes to ****ing china, india and every other pour pitiful country that has NO quality control, NO standards NO EPA to deal with and finally no WHINY ASS EMPLOYEES crying about this aint fair and that aint fair, cause if they whine they just take them out and shoot them, hey maybe we shoudl bring that back to the US
Sorry Ken I had too after the last post
