Contrary to popular disbelief, Toyota and the rest of the transplanted plants in the US pay within a couple of dollars an hour of what GM, Ford and Chrystler do. Benifits are comperable also. Toyota only has about 1000 retires in the US. If they made substantialy less, they would have joined the UAW long ago. The latest on Toyota is they have been making record profits and are now looking to cut wages and benifits of its US workforce. This has been verified.
It might not be in the distant future, they could be looking to the UAW for help.
