"... are you trying to tell me that a GM line employees with a combined salary/benefit package over 100K is a low ender?" Who is responsible for signing off on the agreement? Who negotiated for the company and shareholders? --- Also, you're not telling the whole story. Typically, the most senior workers have great compensation and reduced hours (seniority gives them the right to pick "premium" time). If the company uses excessive overtime (management failure) their compensation will appear inflated. I suggest you check entry-level compensation, without overtime: indeed, in the case of GM, often with "cut" shifts. Jim

This is not a simple topic and complicated by generalizations that ignore differences in unions from state to state and within each state. In Connecticut there are unions where there is no overtime pay only compensatory time that expires after several months.
