an assembly plant worker makes $32.32 an hour plus benefits, which ultimately means they are making (or costing their employer) about 100 - 110K per year for at best semi-skilled labor.
They want COLA increases on top of 40% wage increases over the next 4 years?!!! Audacious isn’t the word I would use to describe the demands.
Wages average $32 an hour plus benefits averaging about $25-30 an hour more. They’re not starving.
SOOOO—DO THE MATH
150,000 workers at $150,000/year.
