Ford and GM workers currently are losing nearly $4,000 a year from the 2005 concessions that imposed a wage cut in September 2006 and from past COLA “diversions.”
If those concessions continue for the four years of the new contract–that comes to about $16,000 on top of the $2500 lost in 2006.
Anything less than an $18,000 signing bonus would leave every worker in the hole–don’t talk about any new concessions!
