Not one is even 1/2 the values you quoted. And saying "You can't vouch for their accuracy" is a cop out. If you want to use them to prove a point then you need better facts than that.
you're clearly not reading the whole thread.

The "wage" numbers you quote are the hourly dollar wage they recieve, the numbers that I posted was their compensation including pensions/medical benefits/vacation/holdiays.

We've already discussed and agreed their wage isn't the problem, it's the benefits that are absurd.

Furthermore the numbers we've been discussing have come from the UAW rather then the CAW, with universal health care in Canada it is unlikely the numbers are as high.
