Automakers' Jobs Bank Program Pays Laid-Off Workers to Do Nothing
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/…Thousands of laid-off auto workers get paid $31 an hour to sit around and do nothing all year under a controversial program that could continue even if American taxpayers bail out the American auto industry.
"Basically, the contracts have to allow us to align the Detroit companies' costs with Honda," Morici said, pointing to the $72 an hour that the average Detroit 3 worker receives, compared to the $44 an hour that the non-unionized employees make at Japanese car plants in America.

D*mn, it must be nice to be in a union~! $31/hr, $44/hr, $72/hr
- How in God's name do you make $72/hr as a factory worker!? That's just crazy.********
- It's BS argument. They're including benefits nd pensions over a lifetime and pulling an average. Nice try Fox capitalist pigs.TheBlueOne
- And these massive payouts to average workers are helping these companies!?********
- Before taxes. $72/hr = ~$150K per year. Nice factory worker job.********
- even factoring in the perks, it's crazy. GM is a pension company which makes cars on the side. explains the quality.sputnik2
