Skilled labor requires years of training, and those workers are highly paid. Or at least paid way better than minimum wage.

I can remember when it was the pride of American workers to have the experience, training and dedication of providing their skills to trusted and beloved employers. I'm talking about my Grandpa's generation - between the wars. And my Dad's generation - after WWII.

But nowadays, employers believe that every worker is disposable. Therefore labor unions are meaningless. The goal of every American company is to use only robots that never complain and never demand breaks or paid holidays.
