I was able to get the correction my talking to my mom at the same time and while in her 70s, she memory is shaper then mine...probably from the stuff i was smokin with the guys at the "plant" back in the day...LOL, you can print all you want...it was $9 an hour casual thru a temp agency...that was in place local plant...I don't have the stubs, i was 19 y/o kid, sorry didn't feel the need to keep them to prove a point to a union supporter 0ver 30 yrs later..
As for you printing numbers telling another person (ovm) what he made....lol just who do you think you are? I thinbk you are lowballing your pay back in the day to try and prove a point....while each plant worked under the "national agreement", each plant also had seperate argeements as to certain issues and positions over and above the "national agreement"...so again, i think you are lowballing the wage you were paid to prove a point and to continue your union vs management/corporation bias....so I call BS too, for what thats worth...
Oh and if you read back, i thinik you will see that OVM was MANAGEMENT/SUPERVISOR, and not covered under the union contract.....
It is what it is may man...lol , my dad as a teamster was making over $15 bucks hr in the 70's....so as ovm said, it must have sucked to work for gm then....oh and when I went to work full time as mechanic in a Buick dealership (non-union) i was working for $12 and hr flat rate.....
And with that, I am off the the NW Ohio Regional High School All Star football game...Seeya all later....

I need to get high after reading this thread.
Someone doesn't understand supply and demand.
The demand for executives who can make boneheaded decisions must be through the roof, cause the supply is unlimited.
I agree it was/is a little crazy. But if a company is willing to pay it, who are we to say they can't? Oh yeah... Obama and his pay czar says they can't.
It's "a little crazy"? It's hypocrisy, arrogance, and greed taken to obscene levels, is more like it.
And correct me if I'm wrong [like it wouldn't occur to you, lol] but Obama didn't peep on the subject either, until those very same companies came asking to be bailed out so their blunders wouldn't cost the jobs of hundreds of thousands of people, right? And their plan to 'oversee' compensation is to have it approved by the Board of Directors - yeah, that'll change things, those Boards are tough to satisfy. Not.
Don't even get me started on the whole "Golden Parachute"....
But i did call mom to ask this time, she called back while i was at the football game...March 1978 $13.68 and hour including midnight (3rd) shift differential....yea I missed it by what, close to a buck 40.......And my life has at times sucked, but fr the last, i'd say 10 yrs things been pretty d*amn good..far from sucking..Oiler wrote:
Yea i have all of my old mans pay stubs and tax returns...
Oh and i have retired 3 times, the 1st at 50..have started owned and run 6 businesses sice then, 2 f them into the ground....
