 BA>> None of those skilled *crafts* are assembling automobiles.  I also
 BA>> suspect that none of those skilled *craftsmen* are UAW members, those
 BA>> *crafts* have their own unions.

 RW> In fact, milwrights, machinists, T&D makers and machine
 RW> repairmen have their own union called the
 RW> IAM...International Association of Machinists. That's also
 RW> true in aircraft manufacturing plants.

 Correction: There is a union for machinists and one for mill
 wrights, and for pipefitters, and electricians, and one for
 pretty much every trade you can think of.

 However, in house skilled trades are often under one union, the
 union that covers the plant. There are 18 skilled trades under
 the UAW, all those listed above, and more.

 The pay rate I listed as top pay, $32.83/hr, is for Tool and Die
 makers.
