    US auto factory wages

    Today, Ron Gettlefinger, UAW President said UAW members average or median out (I'm not sure which), at just under $30 per hour, and that Toyota has claimed parity for its factory people. So that's about $60,000 per year, with comparable health plans, and better pensions for the UAW.

    New UAW hires are making $14 per hour with no pensions.
