title of article: "A Tale of Two Auto Plants"
(Toyota and GM)

It says "In San Antonio, Toyota will use non-union labor and will start
it's 1,600 hourly employees at $15.50 to $20.33 per hour, which will grow
after three years to $21 to $25" (25/hr ~ 50K/year) not including
benefits which add $10/hr to costs (i.e. max, $35/hr).

For GM "In Arlington [Texas], GM pays union-scale wages of $26.50 to
$30.50 an hour...." not including benefits. Benefits (retiree and medical
costs) add about $50/hour to the wages (total said to be $81.18/hour).

Anyone know if a worker in a car factory needs a BS degree in anything?

So what's your point? Does corporate greed and oppression of workers by
CEOs only apply to those with college educations who feel that they are
being used by the system?
