Quote: "The U.A.W. tried to persuade the Ford Motor Company to build the
Fiesta subcompact in the United States. But Ford chose a plant in Mexico,
where the combined wages and benefits of a production worker total less than
$10 an hour. By contrast, a full-wage union member in the United States
costs G.M. close to $60 an hour. Even an entry-level wage employee costs
about $30 an hour in wages and benefits.
