The Confederates are asking the UAW to cut down a couple bucks per hour to what the non-union foreign plants pay in the USA.
My previous post was about what the foreign companies pay at home, in Germany and Japan. Walter provided a good source, a New York Times article.
Here's the deal: The Confederates just want to bust the union. That union already has low labor rates, conceded by contract. An instant, late-night reduction of a couple more bucks is not necessary for the North American auto companies to come back. It's a silly excuse for the Confederates to scuttle the deal, and send the USA off the cliff. If it were not this, it would be some other excuse.
