For real? Even if that figure includes health insurance and other benefits, it is still a LOT for line workers who have no real job skills. They should be glad to take the $20 to $30 an hour, because if they don't, the workers in Silao, Mexico will be glad to do the same work for a lot less dollars, or pesos. And if they want real and meaningful job security, they can get out and learn jobs skills that the average Mexican doesn't possess.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Big Rocket]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 29th 2008 3:45PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on American Axle strike causes GM to idle four truck plants]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/29/american-axle-strike-causes-gm-to-idle-four-truck-plants/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/29/american-axle-strike-causes-gm-to-idle-four-truck-plants/</guid><description><![CDATA[Correction: The plant is Silao, Mexico is a GM plant that uses American Axle parts.

Do u really think AAM is paying $40-50 hrfor our insurance and benefits? If that is the case, raise my husbands pay to the $35 you want to keep it at and I will get my own benefits. We can both be happy!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jolyn]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 4th 2008 1:31AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on American Axle strike causes GM to idle four truck plants]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/29/american-axle-strike-causes-gm-to-idle-four-truck-plants/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/29/american-axle-strike-causes-gm-to-idle-four-truck-plants/</guid><description><![CDATA[you have no idea what you are talking about. AAM workers do not make that much even with"benifits". AAM won't give the UAW the paperwork on how they came up with thoes numbers in the first place. That's because they pulled them out of the air. First AAM said the workers made around 50 an hour & as the strike gets longer so does their "rate of pay" doesn't that sound a little odd ?? know what you're talking about, the whole story, not just part of it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Donna M Adams]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 4th 2008 9:55AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
