Regarding union health care, "Gold-plated UAW health benefits for retirees and active workers added $1,200 to the cost of each vehicle that GM produced in 2007."
Add in the 10% price that the UAW claims for labor alone ($3,000 on a $30,000 vehicle), and we're at $4,200 right there. And we haven't added in the costs of retirement plans, jobs banks, or GM bailouts (we spent $15 billion on GM, which sells 2.5 million cars a year - that's $1,000 per year for 6 years).
Yea, it's probably close to $7,000 for the labor, benefits, and UAW bailout that we spent for each car rolling out of the Big Three...
Of course, it's interesting to note that when you Google "union labor costs in car price" one of the first links is from DU and spouts the same line you do. Do you spend much time collecting your facts over at DU?
“Free trade” is the one very significant issue, our side seems to have bought into the wrong side of, lock stock and barrel.
But it’s not Republican individuals who are keeping us on the ever more unstable “free trade” train hurdling down the mountain.
It is globalist RINOS.
Just remember, the issue was enough to propel Donald Trump to the top of the GOP polls in just two days.
WHy don’t you do research instead of posting what you feel will bolster your argument, like Bob Beckel does on the FOX 5@5.
