They arent paying anyone, anything near 75$/hr... wish you people could understand this. 75$/hour per employee, is them including pensioned members, benefits, etc, squarely on the backs of the employees.

The
loaded cost
to the employer is $75! 75 freakin dollars per hour! If the average employee makes $25 per hour, the loaded cost is 3x that, which is way, way, way, way, way, way, way above industry average. The reason that the loaded cost is 3x the hourly wage is because of the GODDAMN UAW! Even though an employee isn't making $75 per hour, it still
costs the employer $75 per hour.
The
cost to build a car (or anything for that matter) is divided up between labor, materials, and overhead. If labor costs are 2x what they should be, then where is the difference made up?
Materials, since a fixed overhead is required to build an average car. So, Ford, GM, and Chrysler settle for substandard materials to offset their outrageous labor costs, and thus their cars are steaming POS's. Thank you, UAW!
