American Axle Strike: Unions Continue to Kill U.S. Manufacturing

you're right $70 an hour is ridiculous but what they don't tell is that figure includes salary employees wages and benefits as they are considered "overhead" for the hourly employee. These companys should scramble to other countries to produce their products, they don't have to pay any taxes or tariffs on these products produced and brought back in the US. The Mexican working in these factories are getting around $2 an hour. Now check out what the Executive compensation is then ask if the inequity justifies the need of a good union.
