Thousands line up for Delphi jobs: Work pays 50% less with no benefits

The Detriot Free Press reports:

Thousands are expected to eagerly seek temporary positions at Delphi Corp. and General Motors Corp. at wages up to 50% less than those of the 47,600 workers leaving the companies in an unprecedented program to cut costs.
Delphi Corp. already has hired more than 2,000 temporary workers who are being trained to replace a portion of the estimated 12,600 workers taking offers to retire early or transfer to General Motors Corp.

It appears that many unions workers are way overpaid if thousands of people are willing to do the job for 50% less.
