Good point. The execs should start the new UAW conversation by cutting their own pay to $14 an hour and giving back their pensions, health insurance, company cars and other bennies. This is just how ignorant and absurd liberal positions are. Executives are highly educated, highly skilled, highly educated individuals. Yet, you think they should earn the same money as unskilled laborers who are ALREADY vastly overpaid. Pathetic. It is just ignorant assed liberalism, any way you cut it.

I would love to see the breakout of costs attributable to mgmt vs costs to labor on the factory floor. Given the salaries of Wagoner and Mulally, I have to believe that mgmt labor costs also are a major drag on the big three particularly if mgmt makes up 1/3 of total employment at GM and Ford like it does at Chrysler. Good point. The execs should start the new UAW conversation by cutting their own pay to $14 an hour and giving back their pensions, health insurance, company cars and other bennies. Inspite of what inode says, they are not a minor part of the labor budget if the employment ratio of a third to 2/3 at Chrysler is typical of the industry.
