UAW plant workers DO NOT Make $50-60 bucks an hour!!!!!!!!!!!
Best is around 25-30. This figure, includes their benefits (insurance, retirement, etc.) and that sounds a bit high to me. Also a big rumor that many made over $150K a year with overtime. Let's try around $90-100.
I agree with some, the company out of ignorance signed the contracts that the union is working under. My opinion of the UAW will be dependent upon their new contracts to be signed this year. Will the UAW use some common sense, or get stubborn and say screw it, and the auto industry falls?
There are a lot of intelligent UAW workers who understand they have to bend, to drop some of their benefits, or lose it all. However, there are some who would rather hit the streets than bend one inch. Again, let's wait and see what happens this Sept.
