Depending upon factory location, salary is different (i.e., San Jose & Louisville pays differently), the Shenzhen BYD factory worker average monthly base salary is about 8000 yuan (about 1300 USD) a month, in central China the average is 6000 yuan. It’s all relative to the cost of living, no forced labor, no child labor and higher than Foxconn (makes iPhone, iPad, MacBook) because higher skill set needed. OT is commonly expected. Large Chinese factory offers benefits like dorm, meal subsidy….and their retirement (i.e., social security, Medicare) and insurance cost is very low, so it’s not an apple to apple comparison to American auto worker; and they do make less than American counter part relatively speaking. No idea what this video is talking about.

In Europe cars are a luxury perk given to executives. With a 21% sales tax, and huge fees across the board, a company car which is a great perk, because if they gave you an extra 15k a year, the govt would take half of it... so better to receive a fringe benefit that is taxed very low.

Too dumb to understand currency conversion. Too dumb to realize that the rest of the world doesn’t impose USD.

So those BYD employees can't even afford the cheap $11K car after an entire year of salary. Compare that to a UAW worker whose yearly salary buys 3-4 of the low end vehicle. Either BYD employees are paid too little or UAW are paid too much.

Gotta get used to you guys recapping the news at the end. It's weird, but it makes sense lol. Oh well.

A certain current Presidential candidate with a weird hair thing going on back during his campaign in 2016 said that American workers make too much money. Wages were too high. …and we need Lower wages for workers. This is the future a certain political party is fighting for that also fights against unions. If this certain political candidate wins you can be sure he means what he says about worker wages.

I dont get all the anti union hate. Its not up to us to be mad at this decision. Its up to the workers. It seems the automkaers didnt want to improve the workers' pay and quality of time. What do you realistically think will happen? Unions can, of course suck but it's human nature to respond with a bad situation with a potential explosive response. If it all comes crumbling down then oh well. All parties at fault. UAW does seem like they have some questionable history. I saw a few interviews of the workers, and especially for Mercedes, I am not impressed with how they treat workers.
