Last year, Toyota factory employees made more money than their UAW counterparts, link here. Honda, Nissan, BMW, and Mercedes employees are comparable to the Detroit 3. ch-tentative-contract-deal"]link here[/url]

There is an interesting concept.....BONUSES based upon performance! The employees got bonuses because things went well...too bad that concept doesn't apply to executives and UAW workers.

If UAW workers had their pay reduced by the cost of warranty repairs attributed to their production line, think they might do a better job? So long as the execs and the union workers are paid regardless of performance, where is the incentive?
