Auto Workers
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: December 9, 2008
Enough of this baloney about $75 an hour for auto workers.
My father and brother are retired auto workers. They don't make, nor have they ever made, anything close to that kind of a wage.
The $75 an hour story has been debunked by the mainstream TV news outlets but newspapers don't investigate and report anymore. They only re-report and the $75 an hour story sells papers.
If, as stated, the autoworkers' wages add 10 percent to the cost of an American auto, why do competing Japanese cars cost 10 percent more for comparable American models?
And if you don't think it was right to loan money to the big three, think of it this way. What if the citrus industry in Florida closed? What would happen to Florida? The big three are much, much bigger so the impact nationwide would be devastating.
