Union Votes Pay Cut at Willys Motors Toledo
The CIO United Auto Workers union reports Willys Motors workers voted to accept a pay cut up to 10 percent eliminating incentive pay to boost the company’s finances. With about 7,000 employees and average wages near $80, the move aims to cut labor costs by $56,000 weekly and reduce production costs 20 percent in six months. The union says the action positions Willys to compete with General Motors Ford and Chrysler and protect jobs amid market pressures.
