The new deal requires that 45% of the parts used in cars be made in plants where workers get $15 USD an hour. Most parts are made in plants that are called provedores. They include Lear,Magna, Denso and more. We know families with sons and daughters working in the Ford plant in Hermosillo. They make about $150 dollars a week. I don't know if it includes benefits. We also have friends that work in those feeder plants. Their wages are far less with a minimum of benefits.These are considered good jobs for workers with no high tech skills. Can anyone believe that soon they will be making $600 a week???????? When the Ford plant opened all wages in HMO went up. If the same happened with new high wages many businesses inHMO will be bankrupt. I have seen references to Ford Mexico paying $5.00 an hour but that is probably for skilled labor: welders, electricians etc. Audi has aunionized plant in Mexico that pays $2.25 an hour.
