Delphi's average wage is $26.97/hour (Google: Delphi "average wage"). The $60/hour figure is wages and benefits (health insurance, dental, vision, tool allowance, hearing tests, disability insurance, life insurance, etc.) -- Delphi's total cost per hour per employee.

Sorry, that's a distinction without a difference. In my original post I pointed out that the average worker makes over $100,000/year in wages and benefits.

The obscene benefits package is exactly what unions are using to drive companies into the ground. In addition, many of these insurances are run by the unions themselves to provide kickbacks.

All the companies would be better off giving straight cash to the employees.
