RichardJensen Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Hmpf. So I guess these are hard times for Detroit. Eh? I never would've guessed that from reading the automotive press. They're always so upbeat and cheery. ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96 Pony Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 And people wonder why the Japanese auto workers don't want the UAW to come in. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc-o Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Shazam... $10,000 goes a long way towards keeping the UAW out :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BioDiesel Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Shazam... $10,000 goes a long way towards keeping the UAW out :rolleyes: Only a small percentage of Toyota workers are full time. The others don't qualify for the profit sharing with the exception of the UAW represented plants in California. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ford-boy Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I wonder if the continued manipulation of the exchange rate contributes to the bonuses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc-o Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Only a small percentage of Toyota workers are full time. The others don't qualify for the profit sharing with the exception of the UAW represented plants in California. Toyota Motor Corp., with profits and market share soaring, awarded each of its 5,600 hourly employees at its largest U.S. plant in Georgetown, Ky., an average of $10,131 for 2005. "hourly" employees to me means people on the payroll, not just full time or salaried employees. I'd have to assume that covers most employees - temp employees are considered "hourly" as far as I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my firm passes out bonuses, we generally also give the long-term temps something as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to www.uawtmmk.com and ask the hourly Toyota workers at Georgetown, they'll know for sure. Labor Warrior will be happy to answer anything you want to know about working at Toyota.

kevinb120 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I guarantee the W2's are still much smaller bonus or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peon Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I guarantee the W2's are still much smaller bonus or not. As a TMMK employee in Georgetown, KY - I can assure you that my bottom line is much lower than yours. You see, Toyota include these "bonuses" as part of our hourly rate when it comes time to compare us to you guys, and we still come up short. The UAW manufactures rates they quote us are brand new, no hazard pay, no COLA amounts. So in the big picture, we come up way short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think once you pull union dues out of the GM/Ford check, you ain't as far off as you think you are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickF1011 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Would Toyota and Honda ask for $5000-10,000 back from every employee if they lost money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bored of Pisteon Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Would Toyota and Honda ask for $5000-10,000 back from every employee if they lost money? No, they would fire their whole workforce and hire in a bunch of illegal immigrants to do their assembly work and the quality would fall off the cliff! Wouldn't put it past them at all. :titanic: Why? The management and workers didn't want a union, so there you go and believe me. Toyota and Honda are capable of doing it too! That's another reason why I continue to refuse to even step in a Toyota or a Honda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
