If you hadnt noticed those industries are the few that do compete pretty darn good against the global economy. everything else is made overseas. need a train? some of the best are made in America, cars? we are in the thick of it. Airplanes? Some of the best in the world made right here in the USA. Auto Industries? The unionized ones went bankrupt. I didn't say anything about the manufacture of airplanes or trains, I was talking about travel by train and airplane. Average salary for Amtrak employees? 59k The American people pay over a billion dollars a year to subsidize Amtrak. |

So your saying that we should be paid much less and have inferior medical benefit with $80.00 deductibles just to get a physical. So maybe that's why the big corporations are moving overseas and outsourcing american jobs to export them back here so we can purchase them with our low wages. I think they should be paid a reasonable, financial sustainable wage. When they demand more and more, they become a huge burden to the companies. And their strong arm tactics can force a company like GM to make contract agreements that drive them right into bankruptcy. |

A: No. Labor costs are about 10 percent of the costs of producing a vehicle. The other 90 percent includes research and development, parts, advertising, marketing and management overhead. The answer is an oversimplification. It appears to consider only assembly-line labor costs. Each of the other categories, research, development, parts, advertising, marketing, and management, also have labor costs (and these categories may be far more labor-intensive than final assembly), which must be taken into account. As well, the labor costs associated with extraction, refinement, and transport of the raw materials (and transport of finished vehicles to dealers) must be considered. Finally, the labor costs of energy required for all phases of auto manufacturing, from extraction through final delivery, must be considered. The real cost of any product is the total cost of labor and materials required to produce the product, plus profit, at all stages of productio Read more: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_percent_of_new_car_price_is_labor_cost#ixzz1AJ7hqXyH So if the american auto worker agreed to work for free it would reduce t he price of a car 10% |

What do you call reasonable and financial sustainable wages $8.65. I'm not trying to be a wise guy but do you really think that would keep these over paid corporations heads from outsourcing american jobs.

If it does its a misleading figure. The Japanese automaker has fewer retirees in the U.S., and its health care benefits and pensions are less generous than those negotiated between Detroit and the UAW. Another key point is that health costs and pensions for auto workers in Japan - worth billions - are subsidized by the Japanese government. Not so in the U.S. UAW representatives were wary of renegotiating its contracts again, after having already settled for lower wages in its contract talks with GM earlier this year. [New hires at GM are paid $14-$16 an hour; Ford and Chrysler also pay new hires less; this has stirred the companies to offer buyout packages to their older workers.] http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/12/19/business/main4677571.shtml The Associated Press reported that, for example, the average United Auto Workers member makes $29.78 per hour at GM, while Toyota pays its workers (most of whom are non-union) about $30 per hour. However, when total benefits (including pensions and health care for workers, retirees and their spouses) is factored in, GM's total hourly labor costs is about $69, while Toyota's is about $48. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/12/19/business/main4677571.shtml |

Beyond The Shop Floor
Even the roar from Congressional critics about assembly line largesse seemed to miss the fact that (according to the UAW) labor costs account for about 10 percent of the cost of producing a vehicle; the remaining 90 percent includes research and development, parts, advertising, marketing and management overhead. One major point about compensation and wage disparities: In 2007 GM's CEO Rick Wagoner earned about $15.7 million (including $1.6 million in salary, plus non-equity incentive compensation, benefits and other expenses), a jump of 64 percent compared to 2006. Ford’s CEO Alan Mulally's total compensation in 2007 was $21.7 million, including a $2 million base salary. Meanwhile, last year Toyota paid its entire 37-member leadership team approximately $22 million. (Stock options and amenities like housing and country club membership weren't factored into the figure.) http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/12/19/business/main4677571.shtml |

You have to put the snow SOMEWHERE. Granted its a bad place for it, but when your plowing snow, it does not magically disappear, it piles up and you have to put the pile elsewhere until you find a spot for it. I guess it takes a PHD to figure out that you shouldn't plow the snow into a grave yard, knocking down a fence and 30 grave stones. Its hard to drive anything in a blizzard. Visablility is poor, so I can just guess that the driver didn't know he was in a cemetary in the first place. |

Nothing yet, these things take time. Knowing the power of unions, it might be that nothing happens.
