In my construction industry, wages are in that same ballpark. $35. Some are $26-$28. Some are $45 or a little more. But $35 is a representative number.

Benefits are between $9 and about $17 per hour. For that money, benefits administrators pay medical insurance and pensions, among other things. These figures are enough to underwrite the pension programs. So.....I am still curious as to how those funds could have been mismanaged enough in the past that three times that amount is required for UAW workers.
