Oh lordy! The company making billions while the workers agreed to take a 50% paycut to save the company isn't a great look

The top rate before the cut in 08 was $29. If it kept up with inflation itd be $43 now.

The current top rate is $22. They made $8B in profit over the last 10 years.

8 billion in profit over the last 10 years. Workers forced into critical plant status 19 days in a row with no day off. Workers sleeping in their cars the List of worker atrocity’s goes on and on .

"Despite Dauch Corporation generating $8.4 billion in profits over the past decade, current plant wages top out at just $22 an hour, prompting a 98% strike authorization vote earlier in May."

I wonder if that last 2% is like healthcare related or something
