UAW workers want end to two-tier wage structure

UAW workers want end to two-tier wage structure

Back in 2007-08, U.S. automakers and the United Auto Workers union signed landmark labor contracts that included many concessions on behalf of workers to keep the companies they work for competitive. Among them was an agreement to a two-tier wage structure that allowed automakers to start hiring replacements for retirees at a lower starting wage of $14-16/hour. As one might expect, the people who got these lower paying jobs aren't too happy about the disparity in pay anymore.
