Agreed. They make much more than the average non-autoworker employee in this state because of their overtime. Triple time on a Sunday means $60 an hour. And, a few years ago, when things were good, they bought boats, cars, cottages, etc. ANNUALLY with their profit sharing checks, which were often equal to my whole salary. They can afford the cars more than anybody else can. They also get very deep discounts.
