GM, Ford workers to see big profit-sharing checks

The United Auto Workers has told its members at General Motors (GM +1.56%) and Ford Motor (F +1.34%) to expect big profit-sharing checks early next year. According to The Wall Street Journal, Ford workers can expect $8,000 each. GM workers can expect as much as $7,000.

For the GM and Ford workers, the profit-sharing checks will represent 11% to 14% of the typical autoworker's annual wage of about $58,500. For entry-level workers, it's a much bigger percentage of their wages.

From 2012..

$28.00 hourly for general assembly. Skill Trades and team leaders get a tad bit more hourly.
The cost of building a car works out to 4% covers the workers on the line Government 12% 24% to the suppliers , over head or as GM puts it profit sharing?

And, of course.. the CEOs are making more.. but, these people have JOBS because Pres Obama bailed GM.
