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)

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.

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