they are asking them to go from $26/hr all the way down to $7/hr......... 
would you take that deal? and if you say yes...........U R A LIAR! McDonalds pays that much. |
Well, the way I see it, this is not your typical situation requiring a negotiation. Chrysler is saying you can agree to the pay cut or not, it's your choice. However, if you choose NOT to take the pay cut, then they will be forced to shutter ourtheir doors and will pay you $0/hr.
If that happens, you will be looking for another job, and that could very well be, at least in the short term, the very $7/hr McDonald's job you scoffed at.
If it were me, I would be looking for a new job in another field, but if I was unwilling/unable to change professions, then I would rather do what I know I am good at doing for less money than have no job at all. Especially in the current economy
