Hourly Wage Raise Still Won't Balance With Overtime Pay
Detroit Sept 21 The UAW states a 30 percent raise across the auto industry would not compensate for lost overtime. It compares wartime pay with peacetime hours, noting 1944 earnings per hour at 1.27 including overtime for a 48 hour week, versus current peacetime 40 hour week at about 1.12 basic rate. The proposal would set a 1.45 per hour baseline with no overtime.
