UAW President Ron Gettelfinger on Today.mp4

uh no.. the new uaw worker makes about 14.95 an hr from the 2006 agreements. labor cost only make up 10% of the cost of the car. you have to factor in shipping, gas, insurance, debt/ratio to market trends, and parts that come from various companies that would also fall if these companies fall. not to mention the money the gov will pay in increase unemployment benfits and medicaid claims will cost the tax payer 100X more than what they are asking for now.

And your point is still mote because if you want to add benefits, manditory overtime, and bonuses which a lot of people get onall sorts of jobs union or not then most middle class people make around 50-75 dollars an hr. U think its fine for the tax payer to pay for foreign companies to move here give them free land, little to no taxes & their countries dont return the favor to us? its ok for us to not have benefits for we can give money to countries that provide there citizens with benefits?
