Ask any GM employee who is screwing them and they will rattle off a couple names of CEO's who made $5M last year and how if GM can afford to pay that guy $5M they can afford to pay me more. If you get out a calculator and show them that if the CEO made 0 and they split his $5M up among the 266,000 employees it comes to $18.78 per person per year, they just stammer a little and say "Well I know the fat cats make more than that and they are screwing us."

I read an article that said the new UAW contract married up all the Big 3 and the "new" average hourly wage in Detroit is down to $30.00. | The CEOs/management should take a pay cut too. Want to survive? Suck it up. But what is really killing them is the lifetime union benefits. |
