I am a GM Blue Collar worker and have been for 14 years I started out at around $12 per hour and now make $28.71 +0.99 COLA (Cost Of Living Allowance) that makes my hourly wage $29.70!

I am sick of people saying I make way over $30 per hour. I am sick of people saying I am paid $75 an hour or more. You people are ignorant, jealous fools who have ABSOLUTELY NO KNOWLEDGE but simply believe things because you misinterpret something said on the news.

Does anyone here want to bet me $1,000,000 that my hourly wage is different?
 
Perhaps you are off the mark we are talking about average costs per hour, which isn't YOUR HOURLY WAGE - the costs include "legacy" and health and benefits.
 
They don't but it costs the big three $75 an hour per employee because of the money they have to pay for benefits and to the union for the job bank, pensions, medical benefits for retired workers. So out of that $75 an hour $29.70 is your pay and the rest are for your benefits and the other things I mentioned above.

It costs VW, Honda, and Toyota just $45 and hour per employee.

Either you have misunderstood what people are saying or people have gotten it wrong!
 
Because the "liberal" media tells them that you do.
Because their owners, the corporations, tell them to say so.

My husband is a union ironworker.
I know how it works.

People think he makes a lot more than he does, too.
 
Wow must be tough to try and eck out a living on 29.70 an hour. $1188 a week, before taxes (I know you dont work overtime). How can you survive on that?
 
Carefully constructed media spin aimed at turning people against the unions.

Why the spin? The elite would like to break the unions of course. Good paying jobs for common people are not part of the global government agenda.

Here is an article explaining the fancy calculations used as a basis for the media spin.

That's weird because my husband makes more that that working at GM in Ohio and he's only been there for 8 years. Wow, you must be a f-off!
