I personally know many line workers that pull in round about $100,000 with some overtime here and there. Double time Sundays, triple time holidays, it adds up. Couple over here, extra shift there. And I don't know any big 3 line worker in this area that makes a measly $27/hr, you're dreaming.

And then there's the benefits on top of it.

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find him, maybe you can hire Uzzy.
