The union boys always discount the benefits of union contracts. When they
report like-wages, they don't report the benefits, which makes them paid
nearly twice as much as a non-union worker, such as those who work here
for Toyota. And paying a retiree his full wages after retiring, giving him
the same health care benefits he enjoyed as an employee is rediculos.
It's no wonder the domestic car makers are about to go belly up.
