Despite a dire economy, automakers are on a hiring binge.
Comment: Comment: See whats happening here in Canada and US.They seem to go after the line worker all the time.
To save money get rid of the line worker and take away his or her money.The thing is you don't see the big boys in GM Headquarters taking a hit on they pay check.Hope we can stay number 1 in the world.We here in Canada and US take pride in what we build,it must show people are still buying are cars and trucks
Comment: I agree with the previous comment, but speaking as someone who lives in the Detroit area, who cares?? You could make that point about most jobs. Autoworkers were being overpaid for years on par with professionals who had Bachelor degress. And for what? Putting peices of steel on a line, and drilling bolts? That's not exactly the specialized profession in the world (forgive me if i'm not giving the job justice. I didn't say it isn't hard work, just that it takes hardly any skill to do). It's is a tough change for the auto workers, but welcome to the world the rest of us live in.
Comment: Wow, what a great news, early retirement and lower paying jobs. When there are no jobs paying more than $10 and hour $14 an hour job looks like a great job. And these people needs to be highly skilled and get very little wages. I understand the corporate goals with these strategies, however will things will be going in the direction they are hoping for?
Comment: These jobs are nothing more than a drop in the bucket to what we have lost since NAFTA was signed
Comment: The race to lower wages continues. At $14/hour, who is going to buy the cars they build? Probably not the people who build them. I wish them well, but a $28,000/yr job is not enough to buy a decent home or a new car every 5 or 6 years. A lifetime of rental apartments and maybe a nice used car, that's about as good as it gets it seems if you find work with an auto company.
