They make around $70,000 annually, for working full-time. They make around 125,000-150,000 if they work a lot of overtime. I don't think they really need much more. Those are fair wages. Also, if they simply moved somewhere else in the states I wouldn't argue much, but they are going overseas. Granted, I feel the government is to blame for corporations moving to other nations, but it doesn't change the fact we should try not to run them away. These small towns need these plants.
