Where did I get all worked up before checking my facts about this? You were the one saying it included the ceo’s pay when it did not. I stated it the $70/hr includes benefits. All the comparisons all include benefits as well. The benefits are a huge part of the cost of the emplyees…most people pay a much larger portion of their benefits when compared to the UAW workers. With OT it was/is not uncommon for a fork lift driver, an assembly line worker to make over $100K (not including benefits) for the skill level it takes to do that work they are grossly overpaid. Bottom line is they are getting way more than what they are worth as are the high-ups…this needs to stop.
To sum it up way overpaid workers + way overpaid executives + a union that demands out if line benefits/pay/contract + decreasing sales = fail
