they are asking them to go from $26/hr all the way down to $7/hr......... 
would you take that deal? and if you say yes...........U R A LIAR! McDonalds pays that much. |
No!! you are mis-informed, the $19 dollars an hour cut is mostly from reducing benefits. In canada I believe when one INCLUDES benefits the CAW are getting paid about $19 an hour more than non-union workers.
Edit: there is an article at motortend outlining Chrysler's plan on how to cut The $19 an hour. It is all basicaly reducing benefits and some benefits that are up for the chopping block are benefits non-union workers don't have anyways.
