I don't understand what you mean by this. I'm not sure what it is in Germany, but an auto plant employee in the US would max out there salary around $50 or $60k/year with overtime. Many make much less than that. This is probably a 10 to 20% bonus for many of their workers, which is extremely high for factory work.
- brewdad 4y agoIt that really the going rate for an auto worker in the US these days? I knew people making $100k+ per year at those jobs 30 years ago. They worked as much overtime as they could get but some of them saved a ton. Others bought boats and second homes.
- bluedino 4y ago> an auto plant employee in the US would max out there salary around $50 or $60k/year with overtime That's definitely wrong. GM has said its average hourly worker earns around $90,000 in wages, overtime and profit sharing. The only workers who can reach that level are skilled trades, about 15% of the workforce, the UAW said. In-progression and temp workers earn much less. However, a GM spokesman countered that skilled trades workers earn up to $123,000 annually, including profit sharing and overtime but not benefits. https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/2019/09/27/gm-strike-mary-barra-pay-uaw-wages/3776066002/ https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/2019/09/27/gm-strike-...
- elil17 4y agoSkilled trades workers can make that much, but those aren’t the majority of jobs. Glassdoor says Mercedes Benz production workers make about $18/hour on average: https://www.glassdoor.com/Hourly-Pay/Mercedes-Benz-USA-Assembly-Line-Worker-Hourly-Pay-E23354_D_KO18,38.htm https://www.glassdoor.com/Hourly-Pay/Mercedes-Benz-USA-Assem...
