I wonder how much Ford pays the workers in Brazil? Health care? Environmental regulations? What were the tax incentives they received? I would really like to know the whole story. The bottom line is we need workers to make a good wage here, it filters through out the rest of the economy. Unions need to compromise in these tough economic times but they are hardly the only cause of the problems the US auto industry is facing.
Actually I'm starting to feel a little ripped off. If the UAW workers are getting paid so much more then the Japanese and European workers why is it a comparable US car is cheaper?
