   Employees at a UK missile factory that supplys Ukraine are on strike. Apparently they only make about 10 bucks an hour and they're not happy about it.

     @BroDrillard @white_male @Terry Here's the actual article: mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/major-pay-dispute-hits-secretive-30470942
     
     > The bust-up between the MoD and GMB union members is over a soaring pay gap between missile movers and staff who finally put the bombs together.
     
     > Employees dubbed Craft Workers, who assemble the weapons, are paid £16.82 an-hour, plus £4,000 as their “Craft allowance” and a £6,000 retention bonus comes to about £38,000 a-year.
     
     > Non Craft Workers, who transport the weapons, earn just £10.42 an-hour or £20,500 a-year and do not receive bonuses.
     
     So they are basically saying they could flip burgers instead of driving explosives around, and make the same money.

     I'm not sure making shells is very high skill work. It's dangerous, you have to pay attention, but you don't have to be extremely big brain to do the work.

     @Terry Impossibru, UK minimal hourly wage is about $13.5.
     Still laughable for high skill, extremely high margin sector.
