It’s contract time for the United Auto Workers and the Wall Street Journal is working hard to build the case for big pay cuts. The paper tells us that compensation for UAW members is in the range of $70-$75 an hour.
That’s not exactly what the piece said: “they pay union workers $70
to $75 an hour, when wage, health-care and pension expenses are
factored in.” It may not be fair to attribute that to current
workers’ hourly pay, but it is a cost they have that Toyota doesn’t.
