Would you take a cut in pay if it meant keeping your job?

[QUOTE="john346, post: 447383, member: 10873"] Very good question & thread. Unfortunately, this may indeed be a reality in the not too distant future. The big three auto makers all are contending that if the union pay scale & pensions were relieved from them they would more than likely still be happily pumping out the same crap that no one apparently really wants to buy. This is a very slippery slope, at what point is it to much drain on the company to keep increasing the employee wages? But if corporate management were to have their way, we'd all be making far less and have far less if nothing to protect us and our future. If the recent Republican blocking of the auto rescue plan shows us anything, I believe it will indeed show us what is to come where corporations are blaming the squeeze of the unions on their financial troubles will take them, or us all. As for the pay cut, if it were a unified decrease, with concessions as to the return to normal once the company is again healthy, then yes. Ahhh to live in a perfect world. [/QUOTE]
