A quick google search (cbs news) says the average wage for uaw member is $28 an hour. So $56,000 per year is too much? Want more money? Go find a job that pays better. Why? When the unions and their members can just demand more crap they have not earned. Joe Biden is going to help the lazy bums get it. I am not a doom and gloomist, but so called conservatives whining about corporate America and peddling and/or buying into class warfare are the biggest threat to this country. I wish the "conservatives" who support unions, big government and entitlements (welfare) would have just stayed democrats.

In the last 3 years new vehicle prices have increased an average of 30% yet people continue to buy them. The CEO’s salaries have increased 40%. I would agree the workers are paid well for assembly line work but their wages have little effect on the price of vehicles, the big 3 are making billions in profits. If you think moving the jobs to Mexico will lower prices your wrong. It surprises me how many people on here are on the side of corporate greed instead of middle class working people. Last i looked a corporation is trying to make a profit by building a product, no where does it say they need to cut profits to pay employees. Don't pay a wage good enough equals no workers and no product and then no profit. Pay too much profit goes down and stock holders pull their money meaning company has less operation monies. Unions think they deserve something more then they earn and unfortunately the laws in place prevent companies from breaking unions and strikes.

Working on a auto line is not a skilled trade you could get the Crack heads in Detroit train them and they could do the same work for less. Nope they have to show up everyday that’s where you are wrong My son in law owns a union paint company in Missouri and offers 6 bucks a hour over scale and can’t get anyone to show up , so there goes the bum theory right out the door .

Curious why when CEOs ask for huge salaries and bonuses, they've "earned" it. However, when the rank and file ask for more money, they haven't "earned" it. "Life isn't fair. It never was, it's not now, and it never will be." My question isn't about being fair. Just wonder why some think it's okay for an executive to get all they can, but it is somehow immoral if the regular Joe tries the same thing.

Since many corporations and companies lose money every year, doesn't appear that CEO is an overly skilled position either. Many executives get bonuses and raises every year, even though their companies have losses.

Showing up everyday is not one! That's just keeping your job.
