According to this average is $28 an hour, which quite frankly is low as fuck. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbsnews.com/amp/detroit/news/how-much-does-a-uaw-worker-make/

You’re neglecting the profit sharing. That has been between $9-15k over the last couple years. They also get a 401k match of like 6%. So that brings their average comp to about $35 per hour. They also frequently get overtime.
For perspective, $28 per hour with no overtime puts them in the 58th percentile and adding in profit sharing places them in the 66th percentile for US workers. So making more than 2/3 of the working population is in fact not “low as fuck”
