As the industry undergoes a historic transition from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles, the automakers will need thousands of workers to staff battery plants that are joint ventures with battery companies. The UAW also sees this year’s contract as a crucial opportunity to ensure representation in the industry’s jobs of the future.
Top scale production workers at the companies make about $32 per hour, and the companies have said it’s much higher when benefits and bonuses are added in. Ford, for instance, says in a statement that benefits and bonuses push the yearly package value to about $112,000.
