I don't think you understand what they are saying.
No one makes $60 an hour to put the cars together.
$60/hr is the aggregate per person cost of building the cars. It includes the benefits and the costs associated with paying people who don't have to work (i.e. the jobs bank, etc.).
I'd bet the average wage for those guys is between $25 and $35 dollars/hour. It's still a great wage, but not near the $60 total cost that the American auto companies have to pay to get the job done.
