Yesterday, we talked about the two-tier wage system implemented by three Detroit automakers. In the two-tier system, new employees make half the salary of workers already on the job. We talked with a few tier-two workers yesterday, and we asked our listeners if they would be willing to do their job for half the salary. Listener Steve Planas responded. Planas, who is a firefighter in Miami, explains why he would take a pay cut.
