How much does the average GM assembly line worker make an hour?

Here is a copied and pasted response from someone who answered one of my questions:

Its the labor monopoly..

Should we be bailing out $73.20 an hour labor?

The average hourly compensation for the Big Three ($73.20)

Toyota ($48.00)...

compare this to the average hourly compensation for Management and Professional Workers ($47.57),

Manufacturing/Goods Producing ($31.59)

and all workers ($28.48),

So for those making 15 or 20 dollars an hour, how does it feel to be bailing out these unions?

There was a time when unions were necessary and provided a needed service for workers; that time has long since passed. Today, and in the past 15 - 20 years, unions have become nothing more than legalized blackmail. Not only are the CEO's overpaid and under-worked but so are the union reps and members.

America needs to get back to the basics of an honest day's work for an honest day's pay; although, I don't see that becoming a reality anytime soon.

No overtime, holiday pay, weekend pay or health benefits included, roughly around $20 depending on seniority.

Do you realize that the bailout doesn't just effect the line workers and the ceo's?

For anyone who says that they make 40-70 dollars an hour is just plain making up stories. And they say they are not including benefits in that. It would help if the right info was being put out there so people can form a well informed opinion.

The hourly wage for a newly hired non-core assembly worker is $14.25, with minimal benefits

Lineworker Salary

yeah right more like we start out at $15.78 a hour... if you all think we make $22 a hour starting out... I want to know where my other $7 dollars a hour is cuz it isn't on my paycheck...

Without fringe benefits included, I would say the average pay per hour is $20-$25 an hour!

anywhere from $40 per hour to $78 per hour, plus an outrageous health care package and then they also have an absurd retirement pension.

I they would just file Chapter 11 Bk and get out from under these UAW contracts they would save millions.

as for training not sure.

They get paid a fair salary, but you don't make a product or the economy better by paying people less, you do it by inspiring people to buy or by making a product people need or want. That's the management job.

$28 an hour, not counting pension, medical benefits, ss contributions and vacations and sick leave.
