I'm a Process Technician with an automotive supplier. I make a liveable wage but we are underpaid for the amount of work and responsibility we have. But that's not the worst part. I've been there ten years and have missed out on a heartbreaking amount of my children's lives due to the insane amount of overtime I've been required to work. I don't think my situation is unique and am starting to believe that the price of making a blue collar living wage in the US is mandatory overtime. Thoughts?
