“I read somewhere that these companies pay the medican workers next to nothing.”
Well, they DO pay a prevailing market wage in Mexico. In addition, they are usually in auto OEM and supplier manufacturing parts so the fringe benefits are always changing to meet the desires of their employees.
“They get no benefits and the factory has a cafeteria on site to keep them at work.”
The benefits in Mexico differ greatly than the benefits we expect. Yes, food is part of their benefit package, but that is mostly because the average mexican can’t afford to eat at home. Once they get a job, they give them a benefit of on-site food, that garuntees that they get food.
They also provide them transportation to and from work, but it would be reflected in your comments as something along the lines of “the evil corporations even force them on busses to get them to work faster.”
The miss-information and ignorance on this thread is astounding.
“The miss-information and ignorance on this thread is astounding.”
In your case I agree.
The average Mexican worker at the Ford, Chrysler and GM plants in Mexico earns just less than $4 per hour or about $26 per day. About 10% of what an American auto worker makes.
