[QUOTE]Originally posted by R1 Man: [QB] Going back to the earlier posts about unions: I work at Chrysler in a Assembly Plant. We have roughly 2,175 workers. We make $28 a hour. We build roughly 1,000 trucks a day. So lets do the math. 2175 x 28 = $60,900 cost in pay per day. We divide that by # of trucks built, 1000. 60900 / 1000 = $609 labor cost per truck. Have to correct something...I forgot to add in hours worked. I was sleepy when using the calculator. 2,175 workers 8 hours per day $28 per hour 1,000 trucks built 2,175 x 28 = $60,900 per hour. $60,900 x 8 hours = $487,200 $487,200 / 1,000 trucks = $487.20 Labor Cost per truck Now how does that inflate the cost of ANY CAR built by any American car company? Another thing...I buy vehicles at Copart.com and I bought a 09 Kia Spectra built in Korea and saw the sticker breakdown. The shipping cost was $750. Remember...it was made in Asia...not in North America. I bought a new 08 Jeep Grand Cherokee made in Detroit where the Jeep was delivered about 35 miles from where it was built. The destination cost was $860. Hmmm....Labor cost $487...Destination cost...$860. Ummm....Kia....car transported from Assembly plant to a port. Then shipped to America. Then transported to a distribution center...then transported to a dealership. So assuming it was shipped to California...then trucked to Detroit which is about 1,600+ miles I think...$750 only for destination....are you serious!!! Can ANYONE explain why its cheaper shipping for Kia to build cars in Asia and send cars here for less money vs the Big 3 building and selling here. [/QB][/QUOTE]
