    The automakers combine benefits with wages to make the number seem much larger than it actually is, so the workers sound greedy.

    Their current wages are around $20/hr. Calling that “$60/hr with benefits” is beyond misleading , it’s fucking disgusting. You can’t pay rent with benefits, fuck off.

      Why are you so rude? Be civil and have a discussion.

      Now, what is the new hourly wage component of that $150/hr. You must know, right?

        Don’t tone police me honey 🙄 when you side with the bosses you become my enemy. Don’t be surprised when I treat you like one.

        The demand is to increase the top hourly rate to $47 per hour - so use that number, not the numbers fed to you by the industry. That’s what wages should be if they had kept up with productivity and inflation over the past several decades.

          I’ll tone police you as much as I please if you’re disrepectful, honey. You lump everyone with the enemy if they provide different perspectives? I make a small fraction of what these workers make and I simply have questions. That makes me the enemy? What a close-minded view of the world you have. What if plants close and people make $0/hour? Because people listened to those like you who stifle diversity of thought?

          Thanks for that info on $47/hour. That makes $103 in benefits.

          Now, how much of that is retirement plans and pensions? Make sure you tell the workers they can’t use that money for rent though, like you suggested.

            Then I’ll tell you to fuck off and eat my ass as much as I want you fucking class traitor. If you act like an enemy you get treated like one.

            Why the fuck are you trying to nickle-and-dime the workers? What’s wrong with you?

              You can do that, and you will still look like a close-minded individual that suppresses diversity of thought. You are kind of what’s wrong with society right now, actually, and the world would be much better off without you.
