After reading alot of posts and actually learning a thing or to I thought you mite be curious to see what a SKILLED union trades benefit package looks like.
Hourly wage 35.25
vacation 11% 3.88
Health&welfare 23.83% 8.40*******WTF
pension 17% 6.00
annuity 6.23
N.B.E.F .3% 1.o6
S.U.B fund .20
Total payroll package $61.02hr.
Deductions
working dues 2.25% of gross Plus $70 a qtr.

political education fund .05 per hr.

I think this is very fair. How these uaw guys think that they cant give up some major things is beyond my comprehension. If you were to take say $10-15 off the hourly rate and give it to the uaw guys that would bring them very close to the jap co"s. And they would still have a great deal !!!!!!!

Now take 20% off the rest of the big 3 office help and no bonuses etc untill the co. becomes truely prof. and all debt is paid off and they SHOULD be in good shape no???
And by the way , If I dont do a good job,blow off work,dont produce what is excpected of me I get laidoff, and dont collect any pay which is fair(except my unemploymant )
