GM chief Mary Barra’s compensation grew by 32.5% from 2018 to 2022. Maximum average hourly wages are $31.77 at Stellantis, $32 at Ford and $32.32 at GM. (UPS workers secured a contract last month that curtailed a similar structure.) For now, the tiers include temporary or part-time employees making the lowest hourly wages, “in-progression” full-time employees with earnings around the middle of the pay scale and veteran full-time staffers making up to the maximum wage. Wages among Big Three workers can vary, largely depending on the terms of the labor contract in force when they were hired - a so-called “tiered” pay practice the UAW has called to eliminate. Under previous UAW contracts dating back decades, many Detroit autoworkers had received cost-of-living raises to keep pace with inflation, but those provisions were jettisoned after the 2008 financial crisis upended the car industry. Inflation has eroded a lot of those gains, with the Consumer Price Index showing costs rising by 17.7% over that time. Across all industries, average hourly earnings grew by 19% over that period, to $33.82. wages among motor vehicle and parts manufacturers (including union and nonunion workers) grew by 14.8%, to an average of $27.99 as of August.
